Rollei Tele-rolleiflex

The Rollei Tele-Rolleiflex is a twin-lens reflex medium-format camera for 120 roll film, shooting 6x6 square negatives. It was introduced in 1959 as a specialist variant of the Rolleiflex line fitted with a longer-focal-length taking lens, aimed at portrait and detail work where the standard 75mm/80mm Rolleiflex was too wide.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Tele-Rolleiflex have ranged from around £440 to £1,200, with a median close to £700 across the sales on record. Condition and completeness drive a wide spread: tatty or untested bodies have sold in the £440–£540 band, while clean, working examples have fetched £1,050–£1,150 at saleroom level in 2020, 2022 and 2023. As of 2026 the camera remains a condition-sensitive buy, and the figures shown are wholesale auction results rather than retail asking prices, so dealer prices for serviced examples typically sit well above these numbers.
