What kind of bullshit response is this? I thought that 1/1000s is 1/1000s or else it wouldn't be called that and I'm not aware of any other camera systems with 1/1000s leaf shutters/flash sync.

Subject: Pocket Wizard Multimax w/ 1/1000s leaf shutter sync question
Hello,
I am a Rollei 6008AF user and I have some Pocket Wizard Multimax transceivers. I’ve had problems syncing at 1/1000s even after following the instructions to put the receiver into fast mode. The PQS lenses that I use with the 6008AF are all capable of 1/1000s and with sync cables they sync perfectly at this speed. With PW’s I usually get much darker images when using flash than I would expect compared to my light meter and this problem doesn’t occur at 1/800s but I am often shooting outdoors and need all of the ambient light control that I can get. Is this normal behaviour for these transceivers? I’m using them with a variety of Bowens QuadX and Explorer power packs.
Thank you.

Hello,
Multimax can work up to 1/1000th of a second but some cameras may be slightly faster than that. Not all cameras 1000th of a second are equal.
