The Rolleiflex 2.8GX represents the professional evolution of the Twin-Lens Reflex (TLR) system. After the discontinuation of the iconic 2.8F in 1981, the photographic world mourned the loss of the twin-lens reflex (TLR) pinnacle. However, in 1987, Rollei answered the call of professionals and collectors by launching the 2.8GX. This model was a "rebirth," combining the timeless 6x6 square format with upgraded internals to meet the rigorous standards of late 20th-century professional work.

Advanced Technical Integration
Unlike its predecessors, the 2.8GX is designed for the modern workflow:

  • TTL Metering: Features an accurate Silicon Photo Diode (SPD) sensor with a 5-LED display in the viewfinder, providing precise exposure guidance from ISO 25 to 6400.
  • TTL Flash Control: Equipped with the SCA 300 system, the camera allows for "Off-The-Film" (OTF) flash metering, a rare and vital feature for professional flash synchronization.
  • HFT Coated Optics: The 80mm f/2.8 Rollei Planar lens features proprietary High-Fidelity Transfer (HFT) multi-coating. This significantly reduces flare and increases micro-contrast, outperforming vintage single-coated lenses in color accuracy.

Fun Fact
The 2.8GX was so highly regarded as a symbol of status and craftsmanship that Rollei produced numerous Special Editions featuring exotic finishes. One of the most sought-after is the "Helmut Newton" edition, finished in grey leather with the legendary fashion photographer’s signature on the back. A nod to the man who famously used a Rolleiflex for many of his most provocative works.

Frequently Asked Questions

OUR CAMERAS

A film format basically represents the size of the film. The most popular film formats are 35mm, medium format (120/220), or large format (4x5, 8x10). We sell 35mm cameras (compact, rangefinder and SLR ones) as well as medium format ones.

From flea markets to collectors, passing by friends and private sellers, we carefully handpick our cameras from different sources. We prefer to select used vintage cameras to give them a second life, although we sometimes sell new cameras that come in their original box.

We take great pride in ensuring that every camera and lens we offer has undergone meticulous revision and repair by our team of expert technicians. Our dedicated professionals possess a wealth of knowledge and experience in the field, allowing them to carefully inspect, evaluate, and repair each camera to guarantee they’re in excellent working condition when they land in your hands.

With our commitment to quality and expertise, you can trust that the camera you purchase from us has been carefully revised, and repaired to provide you with a reliable and enjoyable shooting experience.

Several factors are considered when calculating our prices to ensure a fair and competitive offering:

  • Market Price: We assess the current market value of the camera and lens models, taking into consideration factors such as demand, availability, and overall market trends. This helps us establish a price that aligns with the prevailing market conditions.
  • Camera Condition and Revisions: The price reflects the cost of revising and repairing the cameras and lenses to ensure they are in excellent working condition. We invest in thorough inspections and any necessary repairs to provide you with cameras that function optimally.
  • Brand and Model Reputation: The reputation and desirability of the camera brand and model also influence the pricing. Cameras from renowned brands or those known for their exceptional features or craftsmanship may have a higher price point due to their perceived value.
  • Rarity and Collectibility: If a camera is rare or has collectible value due to its age, limited production, or historical significance, it may be priced accordingly to reflect its unique attributes and desirability among collectors.
  • Customer Value: We strive to offer competitive pricing while ensuring customers receive a fair value for their investment.

By considering these factors, we establish a fair price that ultimately provides our customers with a comprehensive and satisfying package.
