  1. It doesn't matter what you call it - the end result is the same of preventing camera shake when you release the shutter.
  2. I agree with Ben - I just use the grid screen as a guide until I'm satisfied that everything looks level to me.
  3. "Several times I was drawn to Bronny, and each time I gave one a test fire it nearly deafened me and leapt out of my hand." That's what mirror lock up is for.
  4. The lines are actually for cropping to match the 645 back when fitted - nothing to do with not many people composing as a square.
  5. My statements are perfectly rational Jose. I stress that these are my experiences - yours may be rather different. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
  6. My own experiences are enough to make me say my statement is correct - I certainly don't need to try and prove it to win an argument. "Internet is plenty of one and the opposite kind of empty answers" I have no idea what that statement means - it's sounds like gibberish to me
  7. Not true. A camera without a mirror and rear shutter is generally easier to hand hold at slower shutter speeds.
  8. I agree with your sensible comment.
  9. Mirror lock up will obviously show the greatest benefit at slower shutter speeds - it's just common sense - you don't need to provide test results to realise that.
  10. Mirror lock up will show the greatest benefits at the slowest speeds.
  11. Certain cameras are much easier to hand hold than others - I know from experience that a twin lens reflex is easier to hand hold at slower shutter speeds than a 6X6 SLR. A tripod will give more consistent results especially with longer lenses, but only if used with mirror lock up and a cable release.
  12. That depends on your idea of what makes a good image. Rarely does having the sun 'over your shoulder' make for the best landscape image. Quite often, back or side lighting produces the most pleasing effect, but both can cause flare even with a lens hood.
  13. I've used both the SA 250mm Sonnar and the standard 250mm T* version, and I honestly couldn't see any difference in sharpness between the two lenses. However, the SA version did flare easily when used against the light due to its uncoated optics.
  14. Well, at least we agree on something. The 35mm format is way too elongated for my taste, especially when used vertically. Unfortunately it seems we are never going to see a full frame (6X6) square format digital camera. There was a time when Hasselblad used to tout the 'square advantage' in their advertising - something they have become strangely silent about.
