I have had a Rolli for over 20 years and feel I can make some comments about a
TLR.  First, it is not all that hard to use; you adapt to the left to right 
movement on the screen, just as you can compose on the screen of a view camera.
The camera, which has a large negative, doesn't die.  It has been through
more sports events than I would like to remember (in fact, the camera and I
were hit on the sidelines of a football game - I was black and blue the Rolli
kept on ticking).  It has been through trip in the bush on Land Rovers where
the shocks were unknown.  In all of this, the camera has needed repair only
once.  It has been serviced on a regular basis (every five years).  Today it
still performs as well as the day I got it.  So, it you want a  good camera
with a large format that doesn't need babying, get a TLR.
