Actually I disagree with the usefulness of leaf shutter lenses for a 35mm SLR. It would be a function that pros and a few advanced amateurs might use. Since most manufacturers have a body or bodies that sync at 1/250, and most leaf shutters have a max shutter speed of 1/500 the advantage would be just 1 stop shutter speed. So you would double the cost of a lens and add a shutter that would require more maintenance on the lens for 1 stop extra sync speed. It wouldn't sell. We need to convince Pentax to make a body with a 1/250 sync speed.
