Yes Hasselblads have a series of things which have to happen before the
final click.
But you pre pop. A switch on the side.
Mirror flops up.
Back film baffle on the back opens.

Then when you click the shutter you hear a click. That's all that happens.
Which is quite a bit louder than the one my a Rolleiflex..

The Contax 645 had a lag worthy of modern digital point and shoots.

Longer by far than if I didn't even pre pop.
