Hmm... those are Compur shutter lenses  for  Leica? How do they work? 
I know that Leica experimented with Compur shutters in the pre-War 
period, but they have post-War ones as well???

For daylight synchro flash, it's hard to beat one of the 1960s/1970s 
era rangefinders with leaf shutters. My favorite is the Yashica 
Electro series, although I have an Olympus 35SP right now on loan 
that seems very nice.

Or pull out my RB67..... (talk about boat anchors)
