===================================================
  I wonder if titanium blinds are required on shutters to utilize that kind
 of motor speeds.  Tom Abrahamsson says that cloth curtains will just
 wear out prematurely & that is one of the reasons that he developed
 his manual winder.  I have been able to obtain 2 frames/sec manually
 with a Leicavit or SCNOO & since I am now retired from professional
 photography, have no need for anything faster but I am curious to know.
