To keep it safe, it shot both EOS1 and DCS3 without lens, in manual
mode (hence no exposure-calculating timelag either)....;))
Btw, worst time lag in the industry is with electric panorama
camera's, which use half a drum rotation to accelerate, before actual
exposure....and with a fixed slith with, that time also depends on
'shutterspeed', long exposures take an agonazing long time to
start....:))
(on spring-loaded panorama camera's this is not a problem, these fire
off right away (and only do a partial rotation))
