The Realist is X-sync meaning that the shutter is fully open when the electronic 
flash fires and as George says "set it at any darn speed you like."
Now a bulb setting is entirely different. In a bulb setting the shutter is only 
partially open when the bulb begins its burn to climax. If timed correctly the 
shutter and bulb achieve climax at the exact the same moment and it is a totally 
satisfying experience for both the film and the photographer. Tanker
