>>3160870Why are you ever handholding it? U dum mang. The memeya is a studio camera.
But as I said, mirror slap or shutter shock is mostly a meme.
Not that it doesn't exist, but that good photographic practise will usually stop it affecting your photos.
Case in point, my Bronica S2. This has the most brutal shutter slap outside of a Speed Graphic or some russian MF SLR trash.
Every photographer I've ever shown it to laughs out loud when they fire the shutter for the first time.
Pic related was taken handheld at 1/15, which is one stop below the sync speed, and theoretically as bad as it will ever get, seeing as over the duration of the exposure, one big heavy shutter curtain starts, and stops, and the next one starts, with a small gap in between, essentially giving 3 moments of shock to the body, not including any residual vibration from the mirror hitting its stop, whilst the shutter is entirely open.
If you're not a moron though, you should contextualise these "shocks"; all of the moving parts weigh maybe 100 grams, 150 tops. The camera itself weighs between 10 and 25 times that, depending on what lense and what viewfinder you have on. That in itself is a substantial mass to dampen that blow. But if you're holding the camera securely, that's another 50-100kg to couple to the intense force of those little silk screens flying around inside it.
You will probably resist this massive force, believe it or not.
Maybe not if you're a wispy little pansy, daintily caressing it at arm's length when you shoot though. Or if you've hung it out in the breeze on a substantially plastic trash-pod. But that's poor practise for every camera at every time, a manly camera will just punish it more.
The Mamiya is a LEAF-SHUTTER CAMERA.
It has a very well damped mirror, which in any case is not moving by the time your shutter opens. It weighs as much as a Suzuki engine block. It is an extremely stable camera. You will only induce vibration in your images by dong something very dumb.
