I see that's right. I never knew anything about the Ace except the name. Nevertheless, it's just another old 50-60s model that is long gone like the others I cited. It doesn't change the point.

I think the Olympus ACE is a leaf shutter RF.

I don't believe there has been a leaf shutter 35 interchangeable lens RF since 
the Zeiss Contaflex (Contax? Contarex?) and Retina Reflex, the 50-60s models 
with leaf shutter and rear elements fixed on the body and front elements 
interchangable. All the others, living and dead, use focal place shutters.You 
need an fp shutter or a leaf shutter built into the body to keep the film from 
being exposed when the lens is changed.
