I have several Rolleiflex cameras, but not the FW.  My question is which camera 
can be more trusted not to be off wrt focusing. I once had my 2.8D on a trip 
with me (on the plane), and the mirror inside the camera moved somehow, and my 
photos were unsharp. The FW may have a similar weakness, when bumped. The SWC 
may have a more solid contruction wrt focus mechanism. Am I right?
