I think you realise that the Rollei was never a competitor to the Mamiyaflex. ( I own three rolleiflexes - inlcuding the tele but no wideangle, and I find the mamiya with its interchangeable lenses more convenient) but do not wish to admit it.

I went to the Diane Arbus photo exhibition several years ago. In one of the display cases was her Rollei TLR and it was quite worn (some would say beat-up). But she finished her career with a Mamiya C TLR.
That totally misses the point. I have asked for a single person to be identified who was in the market for a Rolleiflex TLR and who then decided, instead, to buy a Mamiya. The two systems really were never in competition.
