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.
