Matt, have you ever had it tested? I am not being flippant or sarcastic; I
only ask because I have read that although leaf shutters may be rated at
1/500th, it is almost impossible to get then to physically move that fast.
It leads to approx. 1/2 stop overexposure error - barely noticeable, but
still there and probably why you don't see a 1/1000th speed on a leaf
shutter.
Has anyone ever seen a leaf shutter rated faster than 1/500th?
