With a focal plane shutter it will only work at or slower than the sync speed.

No, not quite though that would be cool. I simply set the flash to auto at f/11 or f/16, set the aperture on the Rolly to that, use an incident meter to figure out what shutter speed the ambient light would require at that stop, and use a shutter speed a stop higher so that the ambient exposure is one stop under (sometimes two). In sunlight I would reverse the balance so the flash exposure is one or two stops under. - -- Johnny Deadman http://www.pinkheadedbug.com
