A Superwide maybe but an ELM or 500C has about seven things which have to
happen after the shutter release goes off before the picture gets took.
In real time tests they are in a class all to themselves way behind 35mm
SLR's. Which are way behind rangefinders. Or viewfinder cameras come to
think of it.


On the Hasselblad you have the in lens shutter which has to close before it
gets around to opening then closing. You've got the front cloth shutter and
a real one by the film plane. Its an involved sequence. Gotten around but a
simple pre sock button. Which leaves you blind though.
