I am waiting for my Sony A7rIV. Only have GFX50s with 1/4000 and 1/125 max sync speed. Shoot with f2 and even sometimes with my f1.2L on it. Never seen any problems. Maybe OP can explain kind of shots that require such higher ss.
it's usually in situations where Im shooting wide open in bright sunlight in areas with no trees or shade - beaches, on the open water, etc. I will often get the flashing "1/8000" in the EVF.
Yes but shooting people at the beach at the middle of the day at f1.4? Personally I don't shoot when light is quite bad. And I let the bg blow out. Even when shooting earlier, I haven't seen that much need for higher ss. Here is an example, early evening, using only 1/125 @f2. I could have gone HSS but was teaching a class and didn't want to go HSS.
This is ISO100. I could have gone to ISO50.
I'm not always just shooting people as subjects. Here is an example that was taken with the Q2 at ISO 100, 1/12,000, f/1.7. I processed the image in a way that blew out some of the highlights on top of the rope (which may mean I may have been able to use 1/8000 anyway). They were exposed properly in the original image.
This was an extreme condition, though, and not a common thing to encounter.
