Caution.  This will work with a leaf shutter at any speed.  With a focal
plane shutter it will only work at or slower than the sync speed.

No, not quite though that would be cool. I simply set the flash to auto at
f/11 or f/16, set the aperture on the Rolly to that, use an incident meter
to figure out what shutter speed the ambient light would require at that
stop, and use a shutter speed a stop higher so that the ambient exposure is
one stop under (sometimes two). In sunlight I would reverse the balance so
the flash exposure is one or two stops under.
