[QUOTE="westmill, post: 53466, member: 9330"] Your flash will work at any shutter speed upto the cameras fastest flash sync. Its all down to the type of shutter in any given camera. The old cloth type with horizontal travel would only sync upto 60th sec. Most medium format cameras had there shutter in the lens and could sync at any speed. 200th of a sec is pretty fast. The only time and place that you will ever come close to requiring a faster sync speed is in fill flash daylight on bright sunny days. The better flash guns use Hi,speed flash. This works by the flash having a longer burn. This also reduces the flash working distance. Bear this in mind..... you can freeze and catch a pic of a bullet leaving a gun with flash ! [/QUOTE]
