[Leica] Bat Bending Strength: The Ted Gran Effect? - JIM

[Jim Nichols]

Thanks, Philippe.  His recorded shutter speed is 1/1800, so silent mode 
it must be.  Your recent link was very informative.  I'm just as happy 
to remain with my vintage X-E1............ :-)

The Leica handbooks of the 1950s, which I have somewhere, use a similar image to demonstrate what can happen as the horizontally-traveling slit passes across the film opening, recording a moving wheel-type image.  All purely mechanical.
