So much so as far as I am concerned that I am having a Nikon F2A modified to accept Lieca lenses just so I don't have to pre-release the mirror for every damn shot! With the F2A, you will lock up the mirror and thats it - it stays locked up. Why do 35mm camera manufacturers from 1980 onwards think this is so unimportant?... "B. D.

In my line of work, I typically shoot 9 shots in sequence to capture a full 360-degree VR scene - having to pre-release the mirror for each shot (on my R6.2) is a major pain. So why not use a rangefinder camera? Because I also do macro work (100mm Apo Elmarit) and my main working lens is the 16mm Elmarit fisheye - neither of these is at home on a M!
