I've posted about this separately, but it bears re-asking. Do you refer to the speed of the X-position of the mode dial, or the speed when the shutter-speed selector is on 1/125sec? I would frequently use that setting if I wanted to mix TTL ambient and OTF-flash metering (the X-position is unmetered, OTF flash is always on depending on the flash unit connected). I never got half-framing. The X-position isn't a battery-less position, unlike the ME Super AFAIK, so the reason for this is beyond my ken, but if I had to guess then I'd say that 1/125sec doesn't have enough 'dwell' (to steal a motoring term) to permit slower electronic flashes. For instance my Metz 60CT-1 has full power duration of 1/400sec, and the big Hensel 3200 and 600 joule packs I formerly used burned for about 1/100sec at high powers (requiring 1/60sec or longer).
