This is where ANTICIPATION comes into play..... We seem to be in agreement despite ourselves, Harrison. I noted that anticipation is what it's all about in my first posting on this subject. My point was simply to support another's assertion that a delay exists, and that it can vary by different cameras -- even within one brand. You don't have to be a techie to recognize that the response of the shutter trigger in Leica Ms is faster than most. That is just one of the reasons it is such a joy to use. Bill Welch
