First picture of the new Fuji XF 90mm f/2.0 R LM WR lens!

I still think a global electronical shutter would be the key to high sync speed.

 

Probably. Likely. But the leaf shutter introduces its own, very unique, motion artifacts. Slow speed rear sync combined with the leaf shutter artifacts makes for a really interesting look.

I had no idea that was a thing. Now i'm really curious to see an example of that. :rolleyes:

 

Most likely it will be months before I get into another project that justifies renting MF camera with a LS lens, so I cannot provide any examples yet. But it's relatively easy to imagine. Lessay, you are panning your lens while tracking the subject. Upon opening, the leaf shutter represents  an aperture – going all the way from f/infinity to f/working and back. As a result, you have a really cool shift of DOF, diffraction artifacts, weird fringes at specular highlights etc, etc, etc. Very unique look. I dearly miss it.
