The problem is that the first curtain moves and stops creating motion and there is a second curtain doing the same and if they move just in the right way they "amplify" the motion.
It's the same as with certain cars when you drive a certain speed they vibrate a lot and when you go over it the vibration gets less.
This the same thing almost but than with a bridge link
It only did that with winds of around 40 mph (64 km/h)
Maybe they can change the weight, move it faster or slower or mount it differently?
Another way is to have the same amount of force travelling in the other direction of the shutter, that would cancel out the force.
Or use a different kind of shutter like a diaphragm shutter.
if that were the case you'd think the sr could be programed to offset it.Pentaxophile wrote:

Pentax has given what appears to be a solid upgrade.
I did not consider the k20 to be a substantial upgrade over the k10, nor the k7 to be a huge upgrade over the k20.... but it is impossible to look at the specs on the k-5 and justify not selling off a k10 and buying the k5 to go with our beloved ds2, and one of the k10's.
Pentax has heard the complaints and acted on them...
So they haven't re-invented digital photography as we know it... but this looks like a good business decision for me to spend my money on.. or rather my wife to spend my money on.... she doesn't trust me with a bank card or credit card... neither do I... really... to be honest...

Well there is no point in trying to use sex to bribe the wife into buying one.
Women are like sex camels in the sense that they can take one really big drink today and then go without for a month...without...month...
So I'll have to find other ways....
Doin' laundry...... Check..
Clean up the photo studio..... check...
Washed dishes.... check.
did some laundry... check...
washed mouth out with soap... double check... fresh breath too...
now if only I can stay out of trouble till Christmas...

yeah like the k5 with 18-135 bundle... Cool it guys...there's a lot of other things to take our attention today that look rather exciting!
looks like a real value...
My wife has been looking for a zoom to replace the 28-200 for wedding shooting, and I've been bugging for a video capable d-slr.. (why she loves zooms so much is beyond me... I take the 501.4 and 100mm macro and just make do...hehehe)
even with the kx available for $500.00 canadian, the 18-135 + k-5 is affordable... Christmas is just around the corner!

the wr 18-55 and wr 50-200 combined cost about the same...
the stars covering that range would total approx $2500.00
if this lens equals the quality of the first two, and focuses faster and better than the second two...
then I'd say it is a good buy...... especially if it is sold as a kit for a huge discount...
so wether it is right for you or not depends more or less on what weather sealed lenses you already have in that focal length range... and how it performs when tested..
