That's the speed the shutter slit moves in film Leicas. Rotating the sensor strip would not be a problem at that slow speed. Still a mechanical kludge however. <<< Even if the sensor strip could scan at that speed and rotate enough (variable rotation for a variety of lenses) anyone who wants to use electronic flash is SOL. The scan strip would also have to cover the frame at a constant speed, something which mechanical shutter blades don't do.
