>>3464673>1/2000 was standard top speed of like 80% of canon eos film bodies.>>3464863>bull shitBecause I am a pathetic man with no life, I actually ran the numbers.
Total: 31 film cameras (based on Wikipedia's Film EOS timeline)
1/8000th: 6 bodies (~19%)
1/4000th: 8 bodies (~26%)
1/2000th: 17 bodies (~55%)
Although the 1/2000th bodies are predominantly Rebels and other low-end bodies, which were by far the best sellers, so it's not at all outside the realm of possibility that 80% of canon EOS film bodies (i.e., actual produced cameras in the world, not individual models) had a 1/2000th maximum shutter speed. Probably significantly higher.
> my 5D does 1/8000 which i've never actually used a single timeAnd since I'm throwing around statistics, personally I've shot 1/8000th on my cameras 658 times out of 763,683 photos in my catalog, which puts it at about 0.086% of my photos. And a significant number of those were accidents. Not all of them, though--a few are legitimately shots where I was in sunlight but wanted super shallow DoF.
The faster shutter speeds are actually more important with film, since you won't be able to change speeds mid-roll but you will likely change time-of-day mid-roll.
