so i forgot i was shooting with my 2000 FC/M instead of my 500 C/M and I had my beloved 80mm zeiss on it and i was shooting it like a C lens.....damn.....the body was on 1/15 sec but i was shooting at 1/250 or 1/125 at f4 etc......so, have i messed up the roll or the fact the shutter on the camera opened slower than the shutter on the lens means Im okay!?
remember...camera shutter at 1/15....C lens at 1/125 slowest speed of the session
my question is about the 2000 FC/M body really meaning does it do anything weird and totally mess it all up?
 
The 1/15 should only be in your favor. Important is the timing of the shutters.
As long as the focal plane shutter is fully open when the leaf shutter opens your images will be o.k.
The f.p. shutter acts as an auxilary shutter in that case.

You can check this by looking through the camera with the f.p. shutter at 1/15 and the leaf shutter at a faster speed.

Keep my fingers crossed!
 
Thanks man thats what I did actually....I think im safe.....we'll see.....would be a shame cos i had some good shots there....i realized on frame 3 of roll 2 so at least not too late! shooting 120 Portra 160 NC...i didnt shoot slower that 1/125 so....anyway....we'll see!
