Reply To: CS lens shutter speeds

Michael,

The leaf shutter in the CS lenses can operate at the full range of shutter speeds up to 1/500th. At any speed higher than a 1/500th the camera will automatically switch to the focal plane shutter. To answer your question more directly, yes, the leaf shutter will operate at slower speeds like 1/4.
