And me writing this. The "lag as you describe" in my 50 plus years of using Leica range finders/SLR's quite often several at the same time hanging off my body has never ever entered one iota of a mille-second of my thoughts, concerns, nor that it was even happening." To prove my point good Sir, please look at my webpage TEDGRANTPHOTO.COM and look at a few mille-second photos of "ACTIONS!" That if you even thought about shooting the moment.... "YOU WOULD MISS IT!" You see I always figure, as with many other techie things I read on the LUG. If you don't know anything about it? You never have it happen simply because quite often, if you are knowledgeable about these quirky things.......... YOU DON'T HAVE THEM HAPPEN! WHY? Well yer far too busy shooting the action without wasting time slowing down your own reflexes thinking about them, so this stuff just doesn't happen! :-) Well OK I know I'm being a tad facetious. But, "What you don't know wont hurt you! "SHOOT IT WITHOUT THINKING!" May have something to do with my concept!" cheers, Dr. ted > > The M8, M9 and Monochrom lag time is about 1/13s.
