Does anybody know if the Shutter Actuations after the Upgrade go back to Zero?  Which would make sense after all they are new!

my H dealer tells me that an upgrade for existing lenses with a new 1/2000 sec shutter is not possible...one must buy the new lenses!!! Anybody has different information?

I'll stick with my "old" 1/800 lenses. They were a considerable investment, and for the 1 stop jump, I doubt that it is worth investing in new lenses. Personally, I feel conned.

well, it is 1 1/2 stops over the current. And just recently in an outdoor shoot at full sun I had to use a 0.6 ND filter to cut away the bright light for a full open aperture 3.2 (and 1/800 sec), combined with flash.
I am thinking to sell my 150 3.2 and getting the new 100 2.2

I understand Buddy..but to replace all my lenses would cost me about another £11,000. I'm not sure the cost justifies one and a half stops.

I don't think anyone's trying to con anyone, they are just new shutters that are capable of higher speeds (1/2000 when combined with an H6D)
