Title: Rollei 6008 AF
Post by: JV on October 25, 2010, 10:10:55 am

I have been thinking about buying a Rollei 6008 AF for a while now.  Does anybody know what the initial retail price was when it was released?  And also, what would be an acceptable price now?  Thanks, Joris.

This recent auction might give you an indication: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230523272690

Thanks.  I saw a number of auctions in the US that were $3K+, actually closer to $4K, and that seemed rather expensive to me.

I've sold one here on lula for less than half that amount - can't remember exactly but you can find my listing here - think it was $1500 or close to it.  Great camera and there are a few of us that shoot with them here on the forums.

Edit:  I've got 3 bodies and had planned to sell one of them since I really only need two. e-mail me or send me a PM if interested.

Would recommend you get a new one from DHW Fototechnik, the 6008 AF is quite decently priced even new.

Yes, direct from DHW is a good option.  I bought a new one from them earlier in the year.  They sometimes also sell packages on ebay under the seller name DHW fototeknic.

Small spelling correction: the ebay name is "dhw-fototechnik"
