I have a medium format with leaf shutter: the Pentax 6x7 and the 165/4 LS lens. High speed synch is why I bought that lens. But I can't afford medium format digital at his time, and I sure as hell won't go back to film. So I would prefer Pentax get with the program and upgrade their synch speed. If they don't I'll make do. Always have, always will.

Looks like you are in the market for a MF camera with leaf shutters then to meet your goals.

Will you be selling your lenses for 35mm? Anything interesting?

Because you get only partial flash output, the catchlights and the illumination are minimal with artificial high-speed synch. Non- existent in bright light at a distance of more than five or six feet. I use it all the time, but it's a poor substitute for the real thing.

High-speed flash sync probably works fine for that, though.

Does that produce multiple (or different in some other way) catchlights?
