I was wondering, what cameras have ap prefire? It seems that RF's have all the benefits of what makes a good sharp picture.

No retro focus, no mirror slap, ap is stopped down to the correct size already, and leaf shutters instead of focal plane..

Only some (only medium format?) lens are leaf shutters. 35mm RF still use focal plane shutters.

I'm now curious if this is the reason why Leica's are exceptionally sharp, and not just good glass.

Yes, these reasons are probably more important than the expensive glass, especially at lower speed.

It seems to me, Voigtlander, Mamiya etc.. all those that make glass or RF's themselves yield sharp sharp pictures.

Or perhaps, there's no "low end consumer anything" as far as RF's?


The Voigtlanders are the low end for now, unless you go for the classic used ones.
