I have asked Carlos for the page citations;  when these are provided, I
will read the passages for myself.

The discussion is about whether Rolleiflex had the 2.8F tooling at hand
when the GX was produced, not directly about Carlos' comments.  I find
Prochnow quite authoritative but he is as tinged with original sin as are
any of us, and is capable of deliberate or negligent error.
