Okay, I tried mirror lock up with the 165/4 leaf shutter lens. Doesn't
work. Pushing the mirror lock switch triggers the leaf shutter. Of
course the focal plane shutter remains closed, so you get an extremely
underexposed shot of the shutter curtain -- an empty frame. Then you get
another empty frame releasing the shutter, so that you can move on. No
big deal, but MLU and leaf shutter are incompatible.
I was anxious to do some high speed synch flash shots, so my wife
and daughters hid. (They're extremely camera shy.) Amy is on vacation,
so I went to see my next most willing models: the Canadian Geese. I
brought along a slice of a nice Onion Rye to entice them. They were very
pleased, and I was able to shoot some of them full frame. When I ran out
of bread, they attacked. I had to make a run for it. I much prefer
shooting Amy, who is far better behaved.
BTW, I developed the film (Kodak PXP). Looks good. Perhaps I'll scan
one and post it later tonight.
