So your argument, then, is that there *is* a need for leaf-shutter lenses for the MZ-S because studio pros use studio strobes, not shoe flashes? Seems to me that a real studio pro who used studio strobes would be shooting something better than a 35mm.
I guess what I'm getting at is that (even if a studio photog were shooting 35mm) there's rarely a need for them to shoot faster than 1/180, so there's rarely a need for leaf-shutter lenses for studio use. The type of photographers who typically need faster shutter speeds (wedding, P.J., etc.) would typically use shoe flashes anyway, even if mounted off-camera. The other Tom's remark doesn't seem that off-base to me. chris On Mon, 25 Mar 2002, T Rittenhouse wrote: > I feel like I am turning into one of those surely, annoying people, so this > is going to be my last post on Pentax and digital. > > Item 4.
