Hey Eric,
No problem, I'm sure you'll have one asap after(maybe before?) they've released to the public. Can you send me an email with your thoughts on it once you've had a chance to play with it a bit
?
As you're aware through our prior correspondence, I'm still all film-based for my shooting(other than my little X100s which is a constant companion it seems nowadays). Anyhow, I still like to keep up with the current tech, as my inner geek likes to get all hot 'n flustered over what's new and exciting! That new P645D(II?) sure looks nice, but it's out of my current budget. 5x7 and 4x5 sheet film is a little slower going, but I like the process, and my Nikkor and Fujinon lenses still put out great shots, nice and crisp!
Anywhoooo, when I first saw some rumblings about an electronic Copal 0 compatible shutter, I thought "Cool, now I can save up some shekels to put some of my lenses in to digital shutters(I'm a sucker for "do as much as possible in the film") so I can control things even more, and have more consistency from shot to shot". Well, seeing that it looks like only a Copal 0 version will be released(no Copal 1 I gather...) I'll have to pass on that idea, as 1/2 of my 6 lenses in my kit use a Copal 1, and they happen to be the three main lenses I use
).
But I'm glad to see DHW making strides in the tech cam/view camera world, where I'm sure the majority of these shutters will end up. Helping make honest shooters money, and housing nice glass!
