Yes, one would think he would know. So why no mention?

Yes, apparently it is 2 seconds on the Minolta and Pentax. And I agree that
12 seconds is a long time. I wish there was a way to change it. But, when it
comes to flowers dancing in the breeze or a moose posing for ya, seems to me
that 2 seconds is little different than 12. Most things like that, you gotta
grab 'em when they happen, not 2 seconds later! :>) And, now that I think of
it, unless the M and P are changeable times, 2 secs is a little fast for me to
run into a self-timed picture! So, there must be something else going on.
Anyone know?
