Roth Reflex (4.5x6)
The Roth Reflex (4.5x6) is a roll-film reflex camera producing 4.5x6 cm negatives. It is an early twentieth-century enthusiast piece that survives today mainly as a collector's item.
Sales data for the Roth Reflex (4.5x6) is extremely thin: a single recorded UK auction-hammer result from 2005 stands at £600. With only one wholesale saleroom data point on file, today's price, value, and what one sells for in 2026 cannot be reliably triangulated, and condition would heavily influence any future hammer result.
Sales History
Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Roth Reflex (4.5x6) worth today?
On the limited evidence available, one example sold for £600 at UK auction; current worth is uncertain because only a single hammer result is on record.
How much does a Roth Reflex (4.5x6) sell for at auction?
The only recorded UK auction-hammer price is £600, so the model's price range cannot be defined from the available data.
Is the Roth Reflex (4.5x6) a common camera?
No — it appears infrequently in the saleroom, and the scarcity of sales records makes its market value difficult to benchmark.
