No it wouldn't cause lag or shutter delay (Any lag would be purely mechanical before the shutter trips and would already be present in the film body), the sync contact closes at the beginning of the exposure. Shutter speed is irrelevant to the issue as well. In fact this is how the original Kod

That's actually the DCS/c I mentioned, the DCS14 is based on the Nikon F80 and was succeeded by the DCS/n and DCS/c (the latter based on the Sigma) -Adam P. J. Alling wrote: > The DCS 14c was based on a Sigma body with an EOS mount, possibly > reverse engineered. > > Adam Maas wrote: >> All t

That would produce the effect similar to digital point and shoots where there would be a lag or shutter delay. Oh well, you do get to use the M42s... On 2/22/07, Adam Maas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If you only use the sync for triggering, you aren't stuck with sync > speed as the sensor doesn'

If you only use the sync for triggering, you aren't stuck with sync speed as the sensor doesn't care if the shutter opens fully, as long as the sensor gets exposed. I know there's somebody floating around the net who had a breadboarded digital back for his Nikon F2 up and running, albeit not re

All the Kodak DCS units were based on existing Nikon or Canon bodies, starting with the F3 in 1991. The sole exception is the DCS/c which was a Sigma body with a Canon bayonet on it. The DCS 600's (F5 based) and later were heavily modified bodies, but earlier models were really just backs and p

Oh, I remember how the conversation ended: we pondered how to trigger the electronics and decided that we can hotwire the flash sync. Piece of cake. But then you're stuck shooting only at 1/60... > (In the original thread someone said that it should be mentioned to > Tamron before someone else s

Kodak DCS 460 (?) was based on an existing Nikon body (they later made another model based on the EOS). Fuji evolved their FineFix DSLR based on the same idea (also a Nikon body). I was sort of waiting for something like that to happen to my MZ5n but I guess we were not much of a "market" for the

There's a company that makes stereo cameras by "mating" two 35mm SLRs together. The lenses are identical, and hooked together so that the user can zoom at the same time and focus at the same time. The RBT camera is expensive, but a few members of my stereo club have purchased these cameras. Don
