Rollei Rolleiflex SL 66
The Rolleiflex SL 66 is a 6x6 medium format single-lens reflex camera introduced by Rollei in 1966. It combines a built-in bellows focusing system with a tilting front standard for close-up work and perspective control, and was positioned as a professional studio and location system when new.
Hammer prices for the Rolleiflex SL 66 at recent UK auction have ranged from around £130 for rough, incomplete bodies up to about £725 for tidy outfits, with clean 2024 results clustering near £600. As of 2026, the value of a working example with a Zeiss 80mm Planar and a usable A24 back still sells for roughly that upper end in the saleroom, while cosmetic-only or shutter-faulty bodies drag the price well below the median.
