[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have been reading all this speculation over shutters with some interest. There are only two manufacturers of vertically travelling bladed shutters in the world. Copal and Seiko. Those LUGgers attending Photokina should visit the booths of both these manufacturers. There you can see the future as far as shutters are concerned. I don't know which company is supplying the shutter for the G1/G2, but this would be a good choice for a new camera. This would also be logical since the relationship between Leica and Kyocera seems to be getting cosy (several of the new Leica zooms come to mind). Anyway, we only have to wait about three and a half months to find out! Bill Rosauer
