Quick question on Rolleiflex cameras. A relative has been left a number of old cameras and this includes a set of Rolleiflex cameras. Does anyone know of a specialist on this type of market they could point me towards.

Do you want information on them or do you want to sell them? If the leatter then frankly I think eBay is the best option. Any dealer is only going to give you well below market value for obvious reasons.

^ Ebay would probably make the most sense, for simply obtaining the maximum amount if your looking to sell it on.
If you want an easier sell then Ffordes might be worth contacting - http://www.ffordes.com/
I'd be inclined to keep it and have a play around with it myself, they are great cameras and some of the more desirable variants appear to be increasing in value!

Trying to find out the value as I may buy them as I have a keen interest in photography and it would be nice to keep them in the family. The person who has left them taught me about photography when I was young and lent me an old Nikon F with a 50mm lens when I first started. Told me having just 1 lens would teach me to use my legs to find the best shot.

The models are from the serial numbers located the models on this web site
