evandr, I like your welder mask idea, but I have to disagree with your other comment. The iris, as soon as there is a "pin hole" opening, exposes the entire surface of the film or sensor. The iris shutter is layered into the lenses. If it were right up against the film or sensor, I would agree, but it isn't.
Yes that is true, not knowing the internal workings of the Hasselblad I did not consider that. Thanks for the info! The question I would have is how does an Iris shutter achieve extream shutter speeds if the iris has to open, stop, and then close again; perhaps it can do it in 1/4000th of a second, I just cannot wrap my mind around it.
