I remember the M series, and the S, S2, S3 and S4 all had cloth shutters,
but I remember that the SP had the "new" shutter material....I could be
wrong.....

I gotta go look this one up at the Nikon Site in the UK......or does anyone
own a copy of Rogalatti/Rotolini/?  Some Italian surname or Peter Dechert's
version  that wrote the definittive book on Nikon RF look it up for me?

Better yet, can someone that owns a SP go look at the shutter material and
comment.... I never had one of these bodies, so I don;t know from first hand
experience....

Nikon went to the titanium shutter curtains with the F. The Nikon RFs
were all cloth shuttered, like the Leicas.
