Of course this is far fetched, but don't you think, availability of such a lens would do better for putting the system ahead of competition than trying to match 1/12000 shutter speed and similar nonsense? Hey, bros, whaddaya say, are LS lenses useful (alas I haven't tried them - yet)? > From: Bruce Dayton > > What are you needing 1/1000 flash synch for? Daytime fill flash? Any wedding photographers out there? > Would not the MZ-S and AF360FGZ do the job you are asking for? It > can synch up to 1/6000. Or is flash distance a problem? The problem is that I need a special flash and a special body. That's what $1000+? Somehow I feel a 645 LS lens is a more affordable option. And I kinda like my LX and ME-Super. Yahoo!
