It would be great to know if anyone has been able to sync flash at a speed higher than 1/125th, and with a clean shot ! (by clean I mean without dark "trails")

Hello Adam, Hello Vieri!
and thanks to everyone for the answers.
It totally makes sense that I won't be able to fire the Hasselblad lens shutter
on the Pentax camera, now that I think about it!
In theory you could fire the Pentax on bulb and then fire the lens shutter somehow, but I assume
that is quite complicated.
However, chances are that, if the flash duration is quite slow, you might be able to get a clean
shot (with identical exposure top to bottom, without any "tails") with a higher speed. Although
manufacturers today tend to produce flashes with extremely short flash durations.
At the end of the day it is probably much better to use Pentax leaf shutter lens.
cheers,
Pietro

Hello Erieguy, and hello to everyone else as well !
I am looking into shifting to the medium format platform of the 645Z .
A critical element of my decision is the possibility to use my 4 Hasselblad CF-CFi primes, which I have kept albeit not using them for several years.
How do you like using this lens/camera combination so far? is it producing good results, quality-wise?
I understand you don't have autofocus and other automatisms, but I mostly shoot on a tripod or in a studio,
so that wouldn't really be an issue for me.
However, my main doubts regard 2 things in particular:
1) what is the crop ratio (so, for instance, what focal does the Hasselblad 80mm turn into)?
2) and how you should set the camera, should you want to sync the flash with the pc sync of the hasselblad lens, if, for instance, you want to shoot at 1/500th of a second.
Many thanks for your kind attention, and
ciao from Italy !
Pietro
