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?
Hmm, this doesn't really sound right. I would think you should be able to
rig something up (possibly with help of a motor drive) that would cock the
leaf shutter, open the oly shutter at 1/4 or so (for tolerances) fire the
leaf shutter once for exposure and again locked open. (I am assuming, since
hasselblad can be reflex, that they know about leaving a shutter open for
viewfinding -- or am I a complete loon?)
