Hello Jan,
Sure I agree, I really like to take the Rolleiflexes to the streets and
actually use them.
My Rolleiflex 3,5C was in ruins when I bought it, even had to replace its
Planar with a spare parts Xenotar, but it is just such wonderful performer
once the repairs were done !
Best regards,
Hans

Hans,
i sure wouldn’t feel very comforable with that gold name plate on the
street either. On the other hand it’s sad that so many capable Rolleis are
locked in collections. A ttl metered Rolleiflex tlr or SL66se would be
great for shooting the new 120 Ektachrome 100.

I had a Rolleiflex 2,8 GX Edition 1929-1989 once :-)

Shot 1 testfilm with it and then quickly sold it as I didn't dare taking
such collectors item to the streets for photography.
Now I have a battered 3.5C and I am very happy with that one as it is a
real shooter :-)

I own a standard GX. Do I have to worry or am I rich?

Hi Carlos,
That sounds realistic. I was watching a nice looking Rolleiflex GX
Expression (blue name plate) sold by a seller in Hamburg on the regional
no-fee service "EBAY Kleinanzeigen". She started out listing it at over
€6000. It eventually sold weeks later at something like €3600. I think,
that’s more where the price is going right now. Good deals in RF were 10-15
years ago.

I found my message from 2006 about the Rolleiflex 2.8C Planar or
Xenotar price in 1954, it was $291.50. I updated this price up to 2021
according to the US Inflation Calculator and a brand new Rolleiflex 2.8C
would cost $3,021.22 today. You can find cheaper second hand Rolleiflex 2.8
GX cameras in excellent condition in the market today.
