The Rolleiflex 6000 System is a line of medium format single lens reflex cameras made by Rollei, in regular production starting from 1983 with the 6006. The 6006 was derived from the earlier SLX (1976) and retains compatibility with its lenses and accessories, adding an interchangeable film back with an integral dark slide. Like the SLX, the 6000 series cameras incorporate electronic autoexposure and motorized film transport, competing directly with the line of similar integrated-motor Hasselblad V-system cameras which started with the 500EL.

The 6006 was followed by the 6002 (1986), 6008 (1988), 6003 (1996), 6001 (1998), and 6008 AF (2002). The 6002 may be regarded as a simplified version of the 6006, or alternatively as a replacement for the SLX, with a non-interchangeable back; the 6008/6003 are positioned similarly. Rollei released numerous sub-variants of each model.
