A different class of graffiti around your way, Chris. Very nice shot, indeed.

Not looked but guessing the upper limit of 1/4000 shutter speed? Hence the ND filter. Nice shot Chris .

Thanks Pete - I can see that ND getting some use
Julian, you are spot on - 1/4000 top speed - thank you
Thanks Brian
Thanks Beth - no idea on the artist, but I was impressed they could spell vacuum! - Old Nik strikes again, well spotted.

Chris. the first OM-D has an upper 1/4000 shutter speed. The later OM-D E-M1 has 1/8000. Is this due to cost cutting, shutter life, or market positioning? As these companies have F1.8 lens and in the case of Fuji f1.2. It does restrict the use of a plain lens outside. Originally the Olympus only had a low 200iso until a firm ware update which made it even more imperative to use ND filters.
Just wondering the main reason behind this?.

Not sure what limits the shutter speed on the X series - the in-lens leaf shutter on the X100 and X100s is 1/8000, but the in body shutter on the rest of the range is 1/4000
Must be a technical limitation or maybe technical & size?
Anyone know?

I'm impressed there is a full stop at the end, though I'm not convinced about the one in the middle. I suppose that makes it a period piece...

Or is it, "Always even in a something. Vacuum."?

The limitation if one was overcome from the E-M5 to the E-M1 so it is possible I guess. I wonder if it simply costs more, better materials for wear. Whatever I do miss not being able to go over 1/400o in the E-M5. At least it allows me to shoot shoot though and it is not always completely blown out.
