Rollei Rolleiflex SLX Mkii Medium Format Film Camera - Body Only

The Rolleiflex SLX Mk II represents a bridge between mechanical tradition and electronic innovation in medium format photography. Designed in Germany, this modular 6x6 SLR is part of the same lineage that would evolve into the famous Rolleiflex 6000 series, sharing the same bayonet lens mount and a similar electronic shutter control system.

Unlike the original SLX, the Mk II features improved internal electronics and compatibility with modern lithium battery conversions—making it a practical and forward-thinking choice for today’s film shooters. The SLX was one of the first medium format SLRs to offer fully electronic shutter control, automatic film advance, and TTL metering in a compact body. Its HFT lens compatibility ensures gorgeous Zeiss and Schneider optics, while the integrated film back simplifies operation for everyday use.

• Modular lens and viewfinder system

Battery Compatibility Reminder:
The Rolleiflex SLX Mk II uses 10.8v rechargeable batteries, and original NiCd packs are now largely obsolete. However:
• Modern replacements such as the “SLX/6000 1.25A Lithium Battery” (e.g. from Rolleigraphy)
• Or refurbished packs with modern cells
are fully compatible with both the SLX Mk II and the entire 6000 series.

These modern batteries are lighter, safer, and longer-lasting than the originals, making this camera perfectly usable in modern workflows.
