I thought it would be nice to have a list of max flash sync speed for all the various medium format systems people talk about on this forum. I think it could be a valuable resource for anyone trying to decide on a system.

I'll start off with the ones I've been able to google reliable info about. Correct me when I'm wrong and please add to the list.

Bronica ETR - lens shutter - 1/500
Contax 645 - focal plane shutter - 1/125
Mamiya 645 - focal plane shutter - 1/60
Pentax 645 - focal plane shutter - 1/60 (some lenses with shutter - 1/500)
Pentacon Six - focal plane shutter - 1/30
Bronica Z/D/S/S2 - focal plane shutter - 1/40
Hasselblad 1600F/1000F - focal plane shutter- 1/25
Other Hasselblad - lens shutter - 1/500
Bronica GS-1 - lens shutter - 1/500
Mamiya RB67/RZ67 - lens shutter - 1/400
Pentax 67 - focal plane shutter - 1/30 (some lenses with shutter - 1/500)
Fuji GX680 - lens shutter - 1/400
Mamiya 6 - lens shutter - 1/500
Mamiya 7 - lens shutter - 1/500
Koni-Omega - lens shutter - 1/500
Mamiya Press - lens shutter - 1/500
Yashica-Mat - lens shutter - 1/500 (as almost all TLRs)

What did I forget, and where did I get it wrong? I'll leave it to the APUG collective to elaborate on this.

Mamiya C TLRs, all models leaf shutter-1/ 500
 
Mamiya 645 also have some lenses with shutter - 1/500
 
Focal plane shutter Hasselblad - 1/90
H-series Hasselblad - lens shutter - 1/800
 
Bronica Z/D/S/S2 - focal plane shutter - 1/40

What did I forget, and where did I get it wrong? I'll leave it to the APUG collective to elaborate on this.

S2a as well, unless you happen to have the Nikkor-Q 100mm f:3.5 Leaf Shutter lens, which goes up to 1/500 sec.
 
Rollei SL66, SL66E, SL66SE: 1/30 second. With leaf shutter 80 & 150 mm lenses down to 1/500 sec.

Morry Katz - Lethbridge, Alberta
 
Rollei 6000-series - lens shutter - 1/500 (PQ) and 1/1000 (PQS)
 
Rollei TLRs. My 2.8C synchs up to 1/500. I'd imagine the various vintages of Rolleiflexes and Rolleicords vary a little. Older shutters might top out at 1/400.

The Kiev 88 Sync Speed

Good morning, Emil;

Kiev 88, 88C, 88CM, and similar; 1/30 second for X synchronization with the focal plane shutter.

Also applies to the Arax, Hartblei, Kiev-USA and other modifiers' versions.
