big differences in resolution at moderately slow shutter speeds. People on
the Olympus list have tested their cameras with or without diaphragm
pre-fire, and it turns out that even the vibrations from the diaphragm

I think the part about shutter vibration is complete bullsh*t. Perhaps the
metal shutter vibrates a *little* more than the cloth shutter of the other
K cameras. But enough to negate the benefits of locking up the mirror???
