Got myself a little confused, perhaps over-thinking something.

So I want to do a strudio shot, table-top or portrait , and use strobes with my regular LF gear. Camera will be a Zone VI 4x5 and the lens/shutter will be a 210 Caltar in a Copal shutter.

I have a Minolta Autometer IVf that has worked well for me for years. Haven't done this sort of photograp;hy for yeqas too and I've forgotten just how to deal with the exposure. I can meter the light falling on the subject with the meter connected to the strobes by cable. I set the shutter speed and pop the strobes, then read an f-stop. OK . . the shutter will synch with the strobes at any speed, so what difference does it make? Will the metered subject be well exp;osed at any shutter speed? I do understand that at or the same aperture a higher shutter speed will underexpose the background. Anything else I need to consider?
