If the EXIF data is to be believed, I had results at 1/3200 which were as
good as those at 1/1600, 1/1000 and 1/500 from my A-1 with T20 or T32
(forget which) on BG-2.  A discerning thief took a liking for the A-1 -
anyone need a battery grip for their A-1?

In full sun and ISO 100 you need an ND4 filter and enough flash power
(eg: a T32 from not too far away) to drive through the filter.  That should
allow you to shoot at 1/60 and f/5.6 or thereabouts.  You can use your flash
meter if it goes down to ISO 6!  (actually, mine does) :-)

I suddenly got excited when you mentioned the IS-3 but checking the specs I
see the flash sync is only 1/100.  The best thing for flash sync is the
Mynolta A1.  At least 1/500 and probably faster if you needed it. 
  As live view continues to evolve maybe we'll see electronic shutters
implemented within the DSLRs as in the A1.
