Denton,

Are the shutters of the Contax and Leica mechanical or electronic?
I know the 3ti is one of the last truly mechanical 35mm shutters.  I
know that generally speaking a true quality mechanical shutter is much
more rugged than just about any electronic shutter.  I know a few
skydivers who love the OM3 & OM3ti for this reason. BTW they also like
that 8mm fisheye. Not much hand held spherical VR from these guys.
