It appears that the focal plane shutter is well-dampened for longer shutter speeds, but my experience has always been best with leaf shutters for long exposures. Basically, I'm wondering if anyone online or elsewhere has ever done a test with an S2 mounted on a tripod and shot at multiple long exposure times to see if vibrations start to creep in…[Read more]

Hi Dave, thanks very much
My next question would be to ask if there are any possible advantages for using the leaf shutter vs. the focal plane shutter at slower shutter speeds? Would the leaf shutter be a better choice when working with longer available light exposures or is the focal plane shutter soft enough that it shouldn't cause any…[Read more]
