These are great to use cameras: I already have two!

Some of the S1's have a two-stage release shutter: the first pressure stops the lens down to shooting aperture, so you can admire the DOF, the second pressure releases the shutter. Other S1's only have one pressure and go straight to shutter release. (I have one of each)

Which type is this one?

 

[illumiquest]

This one closes the aperture with the shutter.
