Rollei Rolleiflex Wide
The Rolleiflex Wide is a medium-format twin-lens reflex camera from Rollei, shooting 6×6 exposures on 120 roll film. It was produced in small numbers in the 1960s as a specialist wide-angle companion to the standard Rolleiflex, aimed at professionals who needed a broader field of view than the normal-lens models could provide.
In today's UK auction market, hammer prices for the Rolleiflex Wide have ranged from around £940 to £2,600, with a median nearer £2,150 — wholesale saleroom results that exclude buyer's and seller's commission. The model is highly condition-sensitive and production was limited, so clean, fully-working examples with original accessories tend to sell for more than worn bodies, and values have softened from the late-2010s peak when one example fetched £2,600.
