A shooter who needs a shutter on his/her camera like in a Konica or a Bessa should just shoot with those if they cant tell the difference. Leica is not all worried about about these shutters. They're not out to match or better them. Copy them or imitate them. The Leica shutter is why people buy Leica cameras. Its an asset not a liability. A Zeiss Icon is Leica with a faster shutter? A Zeiss icon is s Bessa with Zeiss Germans breathing down their necks. Putting it in the same paragraph with the Leica M7 and especially MP is oblivious to a whole lot of reality.. I'd like to see an example of some of the photography rangefinder cameras with tinny vertical shutters can do which outdoes the M's. Other than some Phil flash stuff sure I suppose would be noticeable if anyone's doing that anymore - other than that. Making Niagara falls look like glass? Clink! Mark William Rabiner markrabiner.com
