Title: S2 Review Discussions
Post by: narikin on September 11, 2009, 08:38:15 am
Michael/ anyone - can I ask a few quick questions?

shutter noise on the S2 - about the same as a Nikon/Canon 1 series, or louder, more like an MF Mamiya/Blad?

Mirror lock up - can you lock the mirror up and shoot in CS mode/ lens shutter repeatedly without the mirror coming back down?
(with a viewfinder, this would lead to a much quieter camera for discreet work, hopefully as quiet as the Mamiya 7 used to be)

Mirror Lock Up - does the AF stop working once the mirror is up?


on another note: I agree with the Leica Senior Lens Designer - Phase/Mamiya's new digital lenses are worthy of serious respect optically.
my 80mm D comfortably resolves P65+ levels.
