No it wouldn't cause lag or shutter delay (Any lag would be purely mechanical before the shutter trips and would already be present in the film body), the sync contact closes at the beginning of the exposure. Shutter speed is irrelevant to the issue as well.
In fact this is how the original Kodak DSC worked (off the shutter sync on the F3 body) as well as many MF digital backs. -Adam Bong Manayon wrote: > That would produce the effect similar to digital point and shoots > where there would be a lag or shutter delay...
