Talk:Focal-plane shutter

message: To avoid the objected-to pedantry, I just went ahead and corrected "focal plane shutter" to the correct form with hyphen: "focal-plane shutter."  If anyone doesn't get why it's important to do it right, let's talk.  Now, the trouble is, my changes show up, but there's no history entry for it.  So I tried again.  Still not showing up there, nor in my contribution or watch list.  Strange.  Dicklyon 04:06, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Strange indeed; did you forget to click the "Save" button or something? Not trying to call you stupid or anything (of course, I would never make such a mistake myself--hah!). Anyhow, it looks as if you never did edit the page. I suppose something wacky could be going on with the Wiki-servers ... ==ILike2BeAnonymous 06:53, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

text: No, it's because I changed them all. I wasn't disupting your assertion about language, just pointing out the inappropriateness of your comment about it in the article. Focal-plane shutter is fine by me. ==ILike2BeAnonymous 06:50, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks.  I bet we did it concurrently and got merged without conflict, whereby my edit had no effect on top of yours. Dicklyon 15:49, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, that's possible. Just a quick note to say that when that happens, you see a message pointing out an "edit conflict", and showing what text would be saved if you saved it then. Maybe that happened and you missed it. ==ILike2BeAnonymous 18:35, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Hyphenation

message: There this famous photograph from the 20ties that shows a racecar with distorted wheels. Can anybody say which photographer this was? I read somewhere he was french, made the pic as a teenager, left photography, went to the US and became a photographer again for WWII. Any hints? Thanks :-) Peter S. 14:11, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The included images (the figures, not the photos) don't look right when viewed with the article.  Also, I'm not sure I "get it", so I don't want to edit.  Could someone either fix this or tell me what this means?  Thanks!  Seer (talk) 01:29, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Why is the country of origin of cameras mentioned after the camera name? I don't see how the country of origin is relevant to the information presented in this article. Any objection to removing the countries? [SCΛRECROW]CrossCom 2.0 08:38, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Country of camera. 

message: I read somebody explaining, in great detail, the story about the diffraction effect of a focal plane shutter with a very short exposure time (1/4000 and below). The basic claim was that with a typical 35mm DSLR at 1/4000, the blurring by diffraction is at the same level as the blurring by diffraction from a f/16 aperture. It would be good to have this documented in this article, with references and everything.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.11.146.52 (talk) 14:41, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Diffraction caused by the shutter

message: There are some inaccuracies in this paragraph, footnotes notwithstanding. For one, the Hi-Synchro shutter first appeared in the Konica F (introduced in February 1960) and was entirely made by Konishiroku. Its fastest speed was of 1/2000s and it had flash synch at 1/125s. The Konica F was the world's first 35mm SLR with either of these features, and Copal had nothing to do with them. It is only later (from 1962) that Copal used this shutter to develop its Copal Square, a more reliable version that was also cheaper to produce.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.205.247.60 (talk) 21:30, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
