Sorry to ask... but what does the 1/250th of a second with the speed at wich the shutter curtains open and close? I always understood the curtains moved at the same speed, and the actual exposure time was controlled by the difference in the their release - from a very short difference to a few seconds, where the x-sync was first the moment the entire film was exposed.

Moving the max speed and x-sync upwards required faster shutter blades, but there was always the need for exposing the entire film to a conventional x-sync, and the exposure still is dosed by the difference in the release of the shutter blades, not their speed of travel, AFAIK.

Well, since you asked, shutter blade velocity is 6m/s at 1/250th. That
works out to about 13.5mph ;-)

I was waiting for someone to argue my "10,000" mph was incorrect for for
focal plane shutter velocity. It probably is.
