I do not have the same problems with my Nikon D3x. Maybe it's related to the mirror? I've set the delay for the mirror to 100ms, maybe it's not enough?

If, as your note below the images says, you're shooting at f/2,2, your plane of focus is razor thin. That would be my guess...I do not have the same problems with my Nikon D3x. Maybe it's related to the mirror? I've set the delay for the mirror to 100ms, maybe it's not enough?
More like they're hanging on for dear life. Can almost feel the bone chilling wind in your shot. We had an unexpected reprieve in the weather the last two days and instead of the sub 30 degree weather they predicted, we had 60 + yesterday and 48+ today. Thats all over thought and by tomorrow, we'll be emulating your weather
Congratulation to your new camera!
I can feel the same about tripod as you do Woody. But sometimes the tripod is the right tool for the job.
If I wasn't doing such large prints I would be very interested in the S. The images I have seen have a wonderfully natural look to them and yours are no exception. Great feel Woody.No doubt about it. Nothing to prevent me from putting the S on a tripod when it's needed. The Alpa was just not real practical hand held. All I've given up is 40+ megs of resolution but the S covers 24x36 prints comfortably and that's as large as I print.
Ed - thanks. My reactions are pretty subjective so far. I've got three lenses (35mm, 70mm, 120mm macro) and the 24mm on order. Wide open there is simply nothing to discuss in terms of distortion or aberrations with these lenses. Nothing. And they render beautifully with smooth bokeh and gentle transitions to out of focus. They have about a one stop advantage over their Rodenstock counterparts and two stops over Schneider. The 1600 ISO is better than servicable in my view. Autofocus is dead on. The camera is a pleasure to use once you get it set up to meet your needs, which in my case took a while. The keepers ratio (focus, exposure and motion blur where I expected them) is very high - again once I got the camera set up there have been near zero bad surprises.If I wasn't doing such large prints I would be very interested in the S.
