Hey

I just bought this in an auction. It was in a box of junk, and paid a great price for it. I know it is a rolleiflex, but I do not know how to determine what model and its value. Is it rare? All help is greatly appreciated.

Can't see much of it...it's gray...is it a "baby Rollei", perhaps??? One that shoots the discontinued 127 size film???

What does it say inside?

Moving to the Collector's Corner - you should get better help there.

Absolutely a baby Rollei. The lens is a 65mm Xenar. This is the common variant of the camera -- the grey one. In good cosmetic condition and working it's worth about $200.00.

Buy some efke 127 film and it takes great photos.

If you end up using it and happen to be on F-book I cordially invite you to join Rolleiflex users group. We need more Baby Rollei shooters there

Two sources of 127 film would be BH Photo in New York and Freestyle in California. It does run around $13.00 per roll.

The Classic Camera/Cut film for Piccolette

There are many ways to slit 120 down to 127 yourself. I've done it with a razor blade locked into an old 120 camera and it works. There will be issues with the numbering on the paper backing though. Mine was like this one... film slitter | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
