EOS or Vintage Canon ?

The shutter makes a big difference - leaf, horizontal focal plane or vertical focal plane produce very different pictures, particularly with moving subjects.

Easy...Pentax ME, Spotmatic, and a Mamiya ...I'll pick up an ME at the flea market, already have the other 2. [emoji6]

Point I was trying to make is the importance of the body beyond holding the lens and sensor in place. The type of shutter is every bit as important as either the lens or sensor/film.

No matter what shutter you have...if the film is not the right speed/ quality for the occasion and your glass is crap...your shot is crap. That sir is not an opinion...it's a fact. Leaf, vertical, horizontal... preference. I like leaf...I don't really do action shots. But hey...that's just me. You may want to do race cars ... You need a vertical? Right? I feel ya...

Great point. Leaf shutters do expand creative control.

Good thing the OP hasn't been seen since Tuesday, because he would have been seeing a whole lotta tangents.

Nothing wrong with a good tangent.
