I suggest that you read the expedition report by Lord Hunt.  The expedition
cameras were Contax II's donated by Time-Life, then upgrading to IIa's.
There are a slew of pictures taken by the expedition photographer, Tom
Stoddard, and of him, with Contax gear.

I am unaware of any Rolleiflex TLR's on the expeiditon though John Morris
might have had one along.

The only Retina on the climb was Sir Edmund's Stuttgart Type 114, a Prewar
camera he took to the top almost as an afterthought.
