For the shutter??! That's not even on my top 10 list. I think the 1/50th sync speed is "quaint" but I really don't mind. Need fill in bright sunlight? Not a problem. http://www.photoflex.com/ will take care of your needs. Plus, you don't need to worry about batteries for your flash. I'd have bought a Leica if it had a modern shutter that synced at 1/250th with a top speed of 1/12,000. But it doesn't. So rather than worrying about all the times when I can't take a picture because of the sync speed, I concentrate on the times when I can. :)
