I have a different take on the black out. I like a non returning SLR mirror. It makes clear, to me, the instant the picture was taken. It is the last thing you saw. The disadvantage is that you can't look through the camera without cocking the shutter. And that when the mirror is up the sun can burn a hole in the curtain.
I always thought that the digital camera companies in their endless quest for bells and whistles should add a black out feature.

From a physical-practical point of view perhaps youare right, but several times the mirror movement uses a time that exceeds the time to open and to shut the shutter and some SLRs have a system to up the mirror before to open the shutter and to bring the mirror down after the shutter is closed to diminish the unavoidable mirror vibration effect on the picture; however IMO and for my case I dislike very much the fact I can't follow my subject all the time, I often use 35mm SLR too and the fraction of second I'm blind due to the mirror movement is horrible, suddenly something is broken; in general the subject appears different when you recover the light regarding the way you saw this subject before to shoot. Using a TLR you follow the subject all the time, you don't have the bad surprise about the subject disappears suddenly, the fact you know you can follow your subject all the time gives you a security feeling about the composition and the exact moment to release the shutter, at least for my case. BTW, this issue is less relevant for landscapes,still life and studio situations, but it's relevant for subjects in movement within their natural context.- All the bestCarlos --- ERoustom <eroustom@xxxxxxxxxxx> escribió:I think these snapshots are easier with a TLR (or a rangefinder) because you can see the action in the focusing screen all the time, no mirror movement blinding the vision.-Well now that's a little bit of an exageration. Whenthe mirror is blocking your vision it's not the time to be noticing anything you can react to anyway. Once you click, it's always in anticipation of the next 1/125th of a second, regardless of what you're shooting with. The view throughout the shot only tells what's happening during the shot, and there's nothing you can do about it,same as an SLR. There's much to be said for rangefinders and TLRs(over SLRs), but that can't really be one of them, can it?E. --- Rollei List - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxwith 'subscribe' in the subject field OR by logging intowww.freelists.org - Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxwith 'unsubscribe' in the subject field OR by logginginto www.freelists.org - Online, searchable archives are available at //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list__________________________________________________ Correo Yahoo!Espacio para todos tus mensajes, antivirus y antispam ¡gratis! ¡Abrí tu cuenta ya! - http://correo.yahoo.com.ar--- Rollei List - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx- Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org- Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org- Online, searchable archives are available at //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list
