I'm not sure about this one. I think the 'blad killed off 4x5 long before 
the RB was viable.

While flawed in retrospect, the Spotmatic was entrenched in PJ work before 
the F existed. The Rollei killed off the Graphic, the Spotmatic killed off 
the Rollei, and the Nikon F killed off the Spotmatic.
