Pentax cannot do more than 1/125 sync speed with their plane shutter & same size sensor, think Fuji - even if faster than that - won\'t be far from that figure.
Perhaps Fujifilm might offer some lenses with leaf shutters. They may listen to the public and decide to offer such lenses as well.

Considering how small they managed to keep it, having the built-in focal plane shutter could be the best of both worlds if they ended up having lenses with leaf shutters as well. Unlike the Hassy, it should be easy to adapt a lot of MF lenses to this system.
That is my hope as well so that I can to even adapt lenses like a few Leica R lenses including my Leica R 28mm f 2.8 Super Angulon PC (which I will also be using on my A7r/Cambo Actus system) and as I mentioned above hopefully it will also be adaptable to either the Cambo Actus and/or the Cambo Actus DB2 which will allow rise/fall/shift, tilts, and swings to the ability for the camera.
