Handheld MF RF

[Lauffray]

I've shot some pretty sharp pictures handholding a RF at 1/10, so I'm wondering if this applies to MF RF as well. Is there a significant enough difference for me to consider this a selling point and turn away from MF TLRs and SLRs (the latter being much cheaper than the Mamiya 6 i'm looking at ) ?

Not sure about RFs, but I can hand-hold my Hasselblad easily down to 1/30 or lower with an 80 mounted. And I drink lots of coffee .... Not sure why, but I think the size and the lens-shutter help.

well you're enlarging the negative less, so slight camera shake makes less of an issue

In my experience TLR and RF are about the same in terms of how slow a shutter you can hand hold - I've got a Rollei 2.8F and a Mamiya 6.

The Mamiya 6 is an amazing camera with a very very sharp lens, but it's main advantage over all the TLRs I've use is ergonomic - it's much faster to use and a very compact package when the lens is collapsed.
