Oh I see.. thank you!
Especially interesting is the pre-firing of the shutter!..
Aaah!... that's why the same sample often seems to perform less well
in an OM-1 than an OM-2000 lets say.. Just to confirm then, if I have
understood well, and regarding normal photography not only tests, to
get this benefit of additional sharpness (by escaping much of the
vibrations) as it specifically occurs in OM2s, 4s and 2000s, we do
have to use the auto-timer -if possible, don't we?
