Frank,
The picture that I'm thinking I may have seen in an old Popular
Photography or Modern Photography article, or maybe even in one of the
hundreds of photography books cluttering up my home. If I find the
picture, I will scan a jpeg of it and post a link. I recall the
distortion as being manifested by a propeller that looked bent backwards
like a sickle. Whether that would be caused by a vertical or horizontal
travelling FP shutter, I have no idea.
