On Auto, my Bronica RF645 is able to produce 1/750th, but only with f22 selected. It is apparently because of the small aperture that the notional opening time is reduced.

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?
