Looking for any reference to what force it required to trigger the average #0 shutter I can use as a baseline for a project I'm working on.
I've been looking and haven't found anyone do any testing to figure it out.

Thanks!

My arm and fingers have not been calibrated for a long time but are still ballpark accurate. The tension needed to move a trip lever on a properly working shutter is .5 to 1 ounce. A shutter requiring 3 ounces or more is in need of a CLA.
