[Leica] Light tripods and electronic first curtain

[Frank Filippone]

I think the IS did help.  #3 is sharpest......  By a bit...

Which brings up a really dumb Sony A7 question.....
If you can either turn on or off the first shutter electronic curtain, why
would you EVER want the first curtain to move?  Why not ALWAYS use the
electronic first shutter curtain?
Ie, what do you lose in electronic first shutter curtain?

( Been bothering me for a while...)

This is a comparison of the Tiltall with the light Gitzo --

I'll have to do a lot more comparison shots before I know whether or how
much the electronic first curtain can help.  But, in theory and consistent
with this initial look, I'd say it might make light tripods more useful than
they have been in the past.
