I can only guess. So here goes: I haven't seen any leaf shutter lenses in the range of f/1.2 or f/1.4. Could be design difficulties, perhaps?
There'd still have to be a sort of focal plane shutter and mirror arrangement, like the hasselblad, because you'd have to have at least one shutter closed while composing and focusing so that you don't expose the film. I guess a Dark slide could be used, too. We'd lose all of our speeds above 1/1000. Now, with the MZ-S and the flash designed for it, we get flash synch at high speeds, above 1/180th. I'm sure there are a zillion other little things to consider but I keep getting interrupted here at work, so I can't sit down and think it all through in detail.

(was RE: how good) Which brings me to the question, does anyone know, what may be the reason for not making leaf shutter lenses for 35mm SLRs, like they have for P-6x7 (and almost everything 6x6)?
