Mark, why does this mirror slap blur just one small portion of the picture? Don't you think it should blur the entire (in focus) frame? Again, I think it's not a mirror slap problem.

I did not shoot the picture, and the guy who shot it won't give many details, but looking at the image, the sun was coming from the rear, and the flash was coming from the front (left). The sun was about two stops hotter than the flash, and the nose "flagged off" the sun from the foreground skin.
The mirror slap occurred only in the ambient areas, (the sun) because it was hotter. The flash duration froze the skin in the shadow areas.
It's just basic lighting theory. But this is my issue too, that the H series requires high shutter speed to avoid the slap.
You suffer from Home Field Advantage Loyalty Syndrome, because you're in Sweden. But the truth is hard to take. But that mirror is like a jackhammer, compared to Contax, Canon, or Mamiya.
