I just timed it at 16 Green Buttons in 10 seconds, so .625
secomds per push.
The only way around it is to leave the lens wide open and
use AV mode, the camera then meters automagically.
OR use an M42 lens stopped down in AV mode, same thing.
One other consideration, not mentioned here I don't believe:
Wireless flash _won't work_ with non-A lenses, this is a
bigger factor for me sometimes then the Green Button.

Hi,
I've mainly browsed the list and asked some questions from time
to time. However,
this interest me. I'm thinking of getting a Pentax DSLR, having
mainly shot
Pentax 35mm and Hassie mf.
1. One thing I've wondered about is how fast in real life is the
use of the
Green button?. Once activated to shot being taken - is it a few tenths of
second prolongation, or is it a second..?
2. I can understand some of JCO's queries here. I e.g. sometimes
shot hummingbirds
- small fast moving creature and you move the lens while shooting
of a rapid
series of shots (LX and its of the film metering is really good)
and while
you do that the light sometimes changes so that expousre must be metered
at or close to real time of shooting. I guess that this might be
a problem
if you need to press the Green button on every change of the light or is
there a way round this? I'd appreaciated some pondering on these
question.
If this is to slow then I'm thinking of keeping my "fast" 35 mm
for certain
situations and digital for other type o slower photography.
Cheers,
Ronald Arvidss
