Such an arrangement would be useful for extremely short exposures,
<1/100000 second ,that would otherwise be done in absolute darkness.
A really short exposure electronic source could be synched to the
leaf shutter at its max and centered with FP shutter at is full open
max ( say 1/250 or so for modern focal plane shutters ).
Or, you could have a repetitive flash source against a moving object
and use the same scheme to get a series of images on the same frame.
In any case, if you can think of obscure, obtuse and possibly
unthought of (or little
thought of) applications for a leaf shutter attached to a fp shutter
equipped camera
I'd be happy to hear about it. Like when Karl mentioned ripping LCD
displays apart
to extract their polarizing filters or the use of the LCD as a
source of polarized
light. I incorporated both of these "tidbits" into the larger text related to
using the LCD as a viable source of polarized light for related
applications. TX!
ok ... back to lurking so to speak!
