how does leaf shutter work?

[patpro]

Hello,

I don't own a Phase One body yet, and never used one. But I have a technical question I can't find an answer for.
Researching cheaper alternatives, I've found the pentax 645D, but this camera has some huge limitations when using leaf shutter lenses: basically, everything beyond the lens won't work if you activate the LS (exposition metering, mirror lockup, bracketing, and even the viewfinder is unusable…).
I can't find any documentation about phase one limitations with LS lenses, so I guess phase one camera works at 100% even when using the leaf shutter of the lens.
How does it work? Is there a technical documentation about the inside mechanic of shooting with LS on Phase One body?

thanks

It works without limitations as far as I am concerned. To the contrary, it adds opportunities like high speed flash sync.

I suggest you'd visit a dealer for a demonstration or hiring one you test yourself. Nothing can convince you better.

Thank you Paul for your reply. In fact I'm not too concerned about Phase One body limitations, as I said I guess it's all right. And I know about the benefits of shooting with LS, I'm a flash photographer who enjoy high sync speed
I'm more interested in the mechanic inside the camera when using LS that explains how phase one cameras are not limited like pentax's are, and I think I find the answer:

That would be great if some Phase One official documentation could explain the shutter sequence when using LS.
