He could also get the version of the new Canon F-1 with the 14 fps motor drive, which also uses a partially-silvered stationary mirror (but is probably much more expensive than an old Pelix). Or he could get an old Leica M2 or M3, or an old or new M4. There would still be some shutter vibration, but it shouldn't be any worse than in a Pelix. Also, rangefinder focusing is a BIG win in dim light. Of course there are other tradeoffs (lens cost, limited range of lenses supported with viewfinder frames, etc.). -- David Dyer-Bennet -- ...decwrl!rhea!mrvax!ddb
