[Leica] Marty, shutter lag in digital M

[jon.streeter at cox.net (jon.streeter)]

We all have our own experience, of course.  What I'm talking about is my 
own, no one else's.  It is possible that this applies only to me.

Here's what I'm talking about:  the capability of the machine to do the work 
and allow me to just compose and shoot in those instances where any kind of 
adjustment -- focusing a lens, setting an aperture, or setting a shutter 
speed, not to mention taking a light reading or balancing red triangles -- 
would mean missing a shot.  The whammoflexes allow one to wheel about, this 
way and that, shooting into the dark, then into the light, then framing a 
brightly lit subject in a field of darkness, zooming in and out to compose 
to one's tastes.  The machinery does the grunt work, and I do the thinking, 
and, when I want to shoot manually, of course, the DSLRs cooperate 
magnificently.

Having had and used both the 5D and 20D, I find this strange as the 
responsiveness of the M8 and 9 have certainly been better than that of the 
Canons.
