        If the 'Blad lens is leaf-shutter, then no. Perhaps it has
        a bit faster sync w/ focal plane - don't know fer sure

        Well, radio-control is cool (and can be uniquely useful, I
        suppose), but a slave unit or even a simple long cord will
        also do the deed.  Yes - a lot of dough probably buy a 
        45mm for the 6x7 w/ enough left over for a 2nd body *and* 
        another spendy lens or two
