Rollei Rolleiflex T

The Rolleiflex T is a 6x6 medium-format twin-lens reflex introduced by Franke & Heidecke in 1958, taking 120 roll film through a Zeiss Tessar 75mm f/3.5 taking lens. It was positioned as a more affordable TLR alongside the higher-specified Rolleiflex 3.5F and 2.8F, aimed at serious amateurs who wanted Rollei build quality without the Planar or Xenotar price.

At UK auction in 2025, hammer prices for the Rolleiflex T have mostly sat between £60 and £380, with a median around £250 across the last two years and clean, working examples typically selling for £230–£380. One outlier at £1,700 in mid-2025 reflects a specialist sale of an exceptional or boxed example and is not representative of what a standard body is worth today; most buyers asking how much a Rolleiflex T sells for at saleroom level should expect the two-hundred to low-four-hundred band.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Rolleiflex T worth today?

In 2026 a typical working Rolleiflex T is worth around £200–£380 at UK auction, with tired or cosmetically poor examples selling from about £60 and exceptional boxed examples occasionally reaching much more.

How much does a Rolleiflex T sell for at UK auction?

Recent hammer prices range from £62 to £378 for standard bodies, clustered around a median of roughly £250; a single outlier at £1,700 in 2025 skews the top of the range but is not typical.

Is the Rolleiflex T worth buying over a Rolleiflex 3.5F?

The T uses the same 75mm Tessar formula as earlier 3.5 models and offers similar image quality at a lower price, so its value proposition is strong if you do not need the brighter Planar or the 3.5F's coupled meter and interchangeable finder.

What affects the price of a Rolleiflex T?

Lens condition, shutter accuracy at slow speeds, completeness of accessories (cap, case, strap) and finish variant drive value; grey-finish bodies and examples with clean glass and recent service sell for noticeably more than cosmetically worn ones.
