	That's the story I get, too.  With the flash held off until the
shutter is completely open shutter speed itself becomes irrelevant to a
greater degree.  That's why my Mamiyas will sync at any speed up to 1/500th
sec...the max the lenses will do.  (BTW they also have another setting for
flashbulbs, but, since it's after coffee break, I'll have to look at it
again before I can remember what it's called.)
