Do you know of ANY lens made in the last 30 years that can compare with a

My 1938 Leica G (aka IIIA) goes to 1/1000th.
The Prontor shutter in the 6" Tessar on my 4x5 Linhof goes to 1/500th.
I can get the lens cap on and off of the lens of my >100 year old 8x10
view camera in about 1/2 a second, but at f64, that's PLENTY fast.

Why is that?

With a dual cable release, such as the one for the Visoflex,
it's good enough even for most candid shots of people.
Admittedly, it is not suitable for "sports" shots.

"Standard" half-frame is an "odd format"?
In college, some of the guys built a dome with an aluminized mylar
interior surface. It worked OK for polarized 3D projection, although
MOST of the viewers of the 1/2 hour 3D video fisheye stuff got headaches.
