Krypticide and Arbib:
Thank you for the replies, but they both seem inconsistent with one another or am I missing something?
I understand the HSS will lower the output, but I get the sense from Krypticide (and from other places I have read) that going above 1/180 will cause the flash not to be triggered (unless HSS with a flash attached--but even if I did that I could only control my other off camera flashes via infrared, not my CyberSyncs, right?). Or could I tether my transmitter (one flash attached to the camera, but via a hot shoe adapter and then plug, via a wire, another hot shoe adapter into that--with the transmitter sitting on this extra hot shoe adapter--boy, that even just sounds too complicated.
So, there really is no way to even, as you said "cheat the flash?"
I just find this frustrating because even though I tend to do most of my work in the studio, I like doing fitness photography or even fashion photography with some movement and would like to be able to go above 1/180. I guess I could keep the room very dark and "freeze the action, but then it would be hard to focus--unless I pre-focused and shot at a higher f ratio. That could be ok to do once in a while, but this all seems kind of like a Rube Goldberg fix. Or isn't that how e Pentax users do things anyway?
Any other ideas?
Thanx again.
