It looks like we have to consider both 'auto-focus' lag and
'shutter-release' lag (I'd call it 'lock time'). I was messing around with
the AF-wunderbricks at Costco tonight, they had three and for once all would
power up and work. C*non EOS Rebel II focused pretty well, snapped in fast.
Min*lta Maxxum 4 was slower, didn't seem to like the lower light level in
some directions panning about the store; the Pent*x ZX-60 (I think) model
seemed to have the fastest and most responsive AF. I don't think any of them
were smaller than an OM, although all were quite a bit lighter. I wouldn't
want to drop any of those plastic bodys on a hardwood floor...
Once the focus 'locks' the shutter release time seemed fast for all of them,
I suppose it delays only for exposure computation, at electronic speeds.
