You're right, IMO. I've never seen any horizontal shutter rated
faster than 1/2000 of the OM-3/4. All the shutters rated higher are
vertically travelling metal "blinds" shutters. And they go as high
as 1/12,000 on the Minolta Maxxum/Dynax 9! Geez, that sucker must
have a tiny slit width!

Of course, traveling slits distort moving objects. Horizontally
moving slits will lengthen horizontally moving objects in one
direction and shorten them in the other. That is not too disturbing
compared to the twist given to a vertically moving object. I am not
sure about vertical shutters. Are they not multiple metal blade
mechanisms, not a traveling slit?
