Our Don Dory wrote in Nemeg about the M7 back in 2002:  "The shutter
release feels just like an M should with similar feel to my M6 but not as
smooth as a very used M3. The hand out mentions a 25ms lag time which is
about twice a standard M so some compensation might be needed for quick
reaction work. "
