If you're ok using stop-down metering, have mirror lockup in your SLR body, 
and 1/500 is fast enough for you, you can put a Pentax 67 90mm F2.8 leaf 
shutter on your lens today! 

A truly integrated leaf-shutter lens would support open-aperture metering, 
automatically cock the shutter between shots, and have automatic 
communication between the leaf shutter, camera body, and flash.  Doable, but 
maybe not very profitable for Pentax....
