Can you please provide a citation for this? Where is this advantage coming from? The shorter flange distance?
- SeanLuke 10y agoIt's been a long time since I looked that up, but I think think it was the Pellicle mirror used in some DSLRs. The flange distance shouldn't have any effect [I think].
- slantyyz 10y agoA DSLT (Sony's translucent mirror cameras) != DSLR. IIRC, Canon had a pellicle based film SLR, but never in a digital model. So basically that advantage is untrue. I thought your claim sounded fishy. Mirrorless does not have a 1/2 stop advantage over a DSLR. When the mirror is flipped, there's nothing reducing the amount of light hitting the sensor beyond the lens. The advantage over the DSLT isn't noteworthy since very few people bought Sony Alpha DSLTs, and they're basically out of production.
