Rollei Rolleiflex 2.8 GX

The Rolleiflex 2.8 GX is a 6x6 medium-format twin-lens reflex produced by Rollei, continuing the 2.8 TLR line into the late 20th century. It was positioned as a modernised version of the traditional Rolleiflex, reintroducing the format for photographers who wanted a new-production TLR rather than a used example.

At UK auction in recent years, hammer prices for the 2.8 GX have ranged from around £1,100 to £3,000, with a median near £1,700 — wholesale saleroom results that exclude buyer's and seller's commission. The two most recent sales, in 2024 and 2025, sold for £3,000 and £2,000 respectively, showing that in today's market condition and completeness heavily influence what a 2.8 GX is worth. Clean, working examples with the original finder and strap tend to sell for more than well-used bodies.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Rolleiflex 2.8 GX worth today?

Recent UK auction hammer prices for the 2.8 GX have sat between roughly £1,100 and £3,000, with a median around £1,700, so the value depends heavily on cosmetic condition and whether the meter and shutter are fully functional.

How much does a Rolleiflex 2.8 GX sell for at auction?

Clean examples have sold in the £2,000–£3,000 range in 2024 and 2025, while earlier and more worn bodies sold closer to £1,100–£1,500.

Is the Rolleiflex 2.8 GX a good buy at current prices?

For a photographer who wants a working 6x6 TLR with a Zeiss Planar lens and built-in metering, the current price range reflects its standing as one of the later Rolleiflex TLRs rather than a vintage collectible.
