Hi, I've mainly browsed the list and asked some questions from time to time. However, this interest me. I'm thinking of getting a Pentax DSLR, having mainly shot Pentax 35mm and Hassie mf.
1. One thing I've wondered about is how fast in real life is the use of the Green button?. Once activated to shot being taken - is it a few tenths of second prolongation, or is it a second..? 2. I can understand some of JCO's queries here. I e.g. sometimes shot hummingbirds - small fast moving creature and you move the lens while shooting of a rapid series of shots (LX and its of the film metering is really good) and while you do that the light sometimes changes so that expousre must be metered at or close to real time of shooting. I guess that this might be a problem if you need to press the Green button on every change of the light or is there a way round this? I'd appreaciated some pondering on these question. If this is to slow then I'm thinking of keeping my "fast" 35 mm for certain situations and digital for other type o slower photography.
