Rollei Rolleiflex

The Rolleiflex is a medium-format twin-lens reflex (TLR) camera line introduced by the German maker Franke & Heidecke in 1929 and produced over many decades under the Rollei name. It shoots 120 roll film in the 6×6cm square format and was positioned as a professional and serious-amateur camera, with different Rolleiflex variants spanning a wide spread of price points and specifications.

UK auction-hammer results for generic "Rolleiflex" lots in our dataset run from £143 to £420, with a median around £190 — these are wholesale saleroom prices, excluding buyer's and seller's commission. The records here date mostly from the 2000s and early 2010s, so what a Rolleiflex is worth today depends heavily on which specific variant, taking lens (Tessar, Xenar, Planar, Xenotar) and condition the lot carries; clean, working examples with Planar or Xenotar taking lenses typically sell for considerably more than entry-level variants. Because the Rolleiflex designation covers many sub-models, any given listing's value and the price it sells for in 2026 should be cross-checked against the specific model number.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Rolleiflex worth at UK auction?

In our sales history, Rolleiflex lots have sold for hammer prices between roughly £140 and £420, with a median near £190, though the specific variant and taking lens drive much of the variation.

How much does a Rolleiflex sell for today compared with older data?

The sales records here span 2001 to 2012, so the current 2026 price for a given Rolleiflex can differ; use the historical range as a floor reference and confirm against the exact model designation.

Why do Rolleiflex prices vary so much?

The Rolleiflex line covers many variants produced over decades, so the value of a particular body depends on which sub-model it is, whether the taking lens is a Tessar/Xenar or the higher-spec Planar/Xenotar, and its cosmetic and mechanical condition.
