Unless Nikon has devised some sort of concentrating flash output to the part
of the scene that actually gets recorded on film during high-sync/FP flash
photography I'd say that energy waste apply to their system to.
Part of the light reflected from the scene hits shutter blades and energy
for this lighting up that part of the scene is "wasted" IMHO.
