This was a BANKRUPTCY. Rollei had no voice in the matter: the authorities
came and took the tooling off for the benefit of the creditors, who seem to
have sold it to be melted down for its metal value.
The tolerances on the T were identical to the tolerances on the E and F
models. The only difference was in the features offered and not in the
quality of the camera: a Rolleiflex T is a REALLY high-quality camera and
you ought to buy one to see this in person.
