David,
The number of 100 milliseconds that I quoted related to non-autofocus SLR's.
The Leica-R exposes approximately 90 milliseconds after pressing the button,
they are between the fastest non-autofocus SLR's on the market.
The time parrallax of autofocus reflex camera's is far more than 100
milliseconds and depends on autofocus system and lensconstruction. Delays of
150 - 250 milliseconds are usual.
