Rollei Rolleiflex T grey
The Rolleiflex T is a 6x6 medium-format twin-lens reflex camera introduced by Franke & Heidecke in 1958, using 120 roll film. It was positioned as a lower-cost alternative to the Rolleiflex 3.5F and 2.8F, fitted with a Carl Zeiss Tessar 75mm f/3.5 taking lens. The grey version, with its light-coloured leatherette covering, was the earlier finish offered before the model was later produced in black.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the grey Rolleiflex T have typically ranged from about £130 to £430, with most clean, working examples selling for around £300–£330 in 2025 and into 2026. As of today, condition is the main driver of what a grey T is worth: scruffy bodies with haze or sticky shutters sell for the lower end, while cosmetically strong examples with a clean Tessar and accurate shutter fetch the upper end of that range. A single 2012 result at £1,500 sits well above current levels and is not representative of what the camera sells for now.
