Btw, I wonder whether this includes AF-confirmation (assuming subject
being in focus, no AF-adjustment needed, IOW 'optimal scenario'), or
not.
Never felt a difference between analog EOS 1 and DCS3 (which is based
on the 1n), while it would be odd if any of them would have a larger
time lag than the EOS 5/A2e.
Just checked again, analog 1 with BP-1 (hence same electromechanical
sequence) next to DCS 3 (=1n)....no audible difference.
