I agree, and in addition, how much will the slight whipping of the rod and
the integrity of its mechanical attachment to the lens/camera be a factor?
All miniscule, true, but wouldn't it just add to the miniscule vibrations of
the shutter? Also, I tried dry-firing my OM-1n various configurations,
including with the MLU and holding in the DOF button. There is a very tiny
metallic snap of the shutter, but I could feel a tiny vibration through my
fingers. Certainly not much. The DOF stopdown sequence dampens a lot of the
sound of the snap, but adds a different dimension of vibration. John H.
surely has some input there as to the whys, as my seat-of-the-pants "test" is
nothing more than observation.
Of course we also come to the question: How could this camera EVER have been
used to take a sharp picture?? They're all junk and shake like a buckboard
on five miles of washboard road. Throw them all out (my address on request
for final resting place). Everybody knows a bumblebee isn't supposed to
fly........
