You wrote: "> TLR is not a truly reflex camera - it suffers from parallax

I replied and said it does not suffer from parallax error and went on to
explain that
Rollei TLRs have a parallax compensation frame beneath the focusing screen.
Now you are saying that "not a truly reflex camera" I meant that TLR's lack
exactly this capability - to show the photographer the EXACT image that the
film
will "see" at the moment of exposure. And I'm not talking about parallax
correctors,
I'm talking about the viewfinder being correct by itself, without any
accessories.
Yes, SLRs with the same lens used for viewing and image recording have an
advantage,
but again you say at "the moment of exposure" and I guess you forgot that
the mirror
flips up to block your view at the precise moment of exposure. Only a TLR
and Rangefinder
allow you to see the exposure as it occurs. So if someone blinks you will
see it.
As to the Mamiya 645AF and the newer 645AFD. The original Mamiya AF loses
the
aperture setting when you change lens, there is no flash compensation and
there is no
multi segment metering. All these were corrected with the AFD plus the
ability to use
digital backs intelligently through use of Mamiya's Serial Communications
protocol.
The AFD also allows you to bracket in manual mode, change apertures while in
DOF preview mode, and many other features.
I believe these are listed on Mamiya's website.
