Hey, I hadn't thought this one all the way through.
You can't practically use the leaf shutter. Well, I guess you could lock
the OM body open on B and use the leaf shutter to expose the film. But how
are you going to look through the lens to compose? The answer? You're not.
The only way that I can think to practically use a Hassleblad lens would be
to lock the Hassy's lens shutter open on B and use it in stop-down mode.
That kind of defeats a lot of the purpose of using a leaf-shuttered lens for
high-speed flash synch, right?

I'm guessing one could take advantage of the leaf shutter as long as the OM
shutter was locked open on the B setting right?
I can get access to some 'Blad lenses fairly easily, but I'm only familiar
with the operation of Kowa MF lenses as that is the system I use.
