I've got a question about leaf shutters. I understand that the opening time
is fast enough to always have the the shutter fully open, so flash sync is
not a problem.

My question is "how does the shutter open". If it folows the same path on
opening as closing, the centre of the shot will receive more exposure than
the edges. I have never seen a picture of one slow motion to see it's
operation.
