Subject: 3Dworld focal plane shutter?

Not having see the new camera in person, I was reading the specs on Dt.T's e-bay
post. The specs say it has a "focal plane shutter" but the pictures I see show no
shutter at the focal plane. The shutter seems to be more like a "behind the lens"
shutter. What is it?

Based on what I saw in Miami, the shutters appeared to be, "Copal" style
focal plane shutters, normally seen in 35mm SLR cameras.


Best regards,

So being for 35mm size, it is too small to be used at the focal plane in a MF
camera. It is therefore a "Copal" behind the lens shutter?

The shutter is located behind the lens but appears (to me)
to be a dual metal curtain design. Dale took some pictures
of his camera where the shutters are visible. I have them

Chuck originally wrote "...but the pictures I see show no shutter at the
focal plane. The shutter seems to be more like a "behind the lens"
shutter. What is it ?

I consider my previous reply to be self explanatory !
