Apology for stating the known. In any case, the rangefinder, the Leica "DNA" more than make up for the shutter response time. I believe science says human brain to hand cannot react to a stimulus in less than 0.2 seconds, so any faster than that, one must rely on the intuition and "sixth sense" anyway.
