There's a noticeable lag in windows made that way. (Maybe there's been
a speed improvement since the last time I saw one of them demonstrated).

shutter that blocks light completely until hit with a current at which
time it becomes utterly transparent until the current is removed.
Could even be combined with the low-pass filter glass.
No fee for the idea, but I'd be glad to help with the science, Pentax....

My FM2n and FE2 (both circa 1983) and my F801s (circa 1991) all have
1/250 sync.
Heck, my old Nikkormat FTn, which dated from the late 1960s had a 1/125
second sync speed.
