I'm afraid you've overlooked the small detail that OMs' horizontal
travel fabric shutters will synchronise at a maximum of 1/60s. I
thought that getting them to synchronise only one stop below that was
pretty good, requiring as it does that the shutters both fully open
within 1/60s of each other. The experiment you outline above (and
which I also did) will tell you which one opens first - connect the
flash to the one that opens second, so that the first one is already
fully open when the flash goes off.

Stand firm for what you believe in, until and unless logic and experience
prove you wrong. Remember: when the emperor looks naked, the emperor *is*
naked, the truth and a lie are not "sort-of the same thing" and there is
no aspect, no facet, no moment of life that can't be improved with pizza.
