Rollei Rolleiflex Standard (China)
The Rolleiflex Standard is a 6x6 medium-format twin-lens reflex camera produced by Franke & Heidecke of Germany. The "China" designation refers to a specific export or market variant of the Standard line within the broader Rolleiflex TLR family introduced in the 1930s.
Documented UK auction hammer results for this specific variant are limited, with recorded sales between £360 and £400 and a median around £380 — wholesale saleroom levels that exclude buyer's and seller's commission. As of 2026, what a Rolleiflex Standard (China) is worth today depends heavily on cosmetic condition, shutter accuracy, and lens clarity, and the thin sample size means individual results can vary widely from this range.
