Yes Slobodan, I only was quoting one of the SL 66 main
designers, Prochnow; while the Rollei SLR first
protoype (1955/57)was designed thinking to maintain
several TLR advantages (light weight in example), the
SL 66 designed ten years later was conceived more like
a studio camera,it does not mean it can`t be used hand
held as your personal experience could demonstrate.-
All the best
Carlos
