I had a Mamiya C-3 that had a winding mechanism that kept breaking but those
bellows were fantastic.

I wrote some days ago that the Japanese industry could not produce a
6x6 TLR so well balanced like the Rollei TLR cameras IMO. The only 6x6
TLR camera that could rival the Rollei TLR was the Mamiya TLR, this
camera has interchangeable lenses, built-in bellows and a lot of
accesories, however the Mamiya TLR is a studio camera mainly and/or to
be used with tripod and after some years of use they tend to have
light leaks due to bellows damage, BTW they are not so compact like
the Rollei TLR.
Another issue is the pieces quality and internal mechanisms assembly
right adjustment and working, Rollei TLR don't have rivals for this
issue. F&H were lucky from the point of view that Nikon decided their
TLR prototype no manufacture due to the 35mm cameras and lenses
success :-)
BTW, one of the mechanical cameras pinnacles were the Rolleiflex F
models, there was no a TLR model like this.
