[Leica] Shutter lag

[bs.pearce at cox.net (Sue Pearce)]

I made some VERY unscientific comparisons of several cameras. Not 
exhaustive, as it was confined to cameras that I own and use. I set each to 
manual, 125th, no lens.

There was a very, very slight difference between my OM1 and OM4, which I 
attribute to a slightly shorter travel for the OM4's shutter release. Both 
were comparable to my old faithful Nikon F, which I still think was the 
fastest SLR I've ever held.

There was a slight delay on the M9, although I can't imagin it will cause to 
loss of any decisive moment. It couldn't have been a second, more like a 
slight hiccup.

Let the flaming begin.
