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.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Rolleiflex Wide worth today?

Recent UK auction hammer prices have fallen between roughly £940 and £2,600, so a clean, working example is generally worth somewhere in the low-to-mid four figures depending on cosmetic and mechanical condition.

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

At saleroom level the price has ranged from about £940 to £2,600 across recorded sales, with a median result around £2,150 before commission.

Why is the Rolleiflex Wide more valuable than a standard Rolleiflex TLR?

It was produced in far smaller numbers than the normal-lens Rolleiflex models, and collector demand for the scarcer wide-angle variant supports a price premium when condition is good.

What affects the value of a Rolleiflex Wide most?

Lens clarity, shutter accuracy and overall cosmetic condition have the biggest impact on price, with original cases, caps and paperwork adding a further modest premium.
