When I had the Mamiya 645 with normal, wide and tele
lenses, I preferred the Rollei TLR for street and
candid potos for the same reasons, it is unobtrusive
and light weight. If you work with enlargers, scanned
negs or diapos you can cut the main image to enlarge
it, I have obtained excellent results using this
method framing the main subject at the center to
obtain the best lens performance, BTW, if you need
giant enlargements, it's better to use a SLR with a
Tele lens. I never used a Mutar, but according
commentaries and some tests they are very
satisfactories for little f stops specially.-
All the best
Carlos
