Probably way too long, but interesting to see how these guys are rescuing/repairing old film cameras and teaching the next generation of camera techs.

 
Yes , and their newest Kyoritsu was made in 2020. But when one loads the Kyoritsu web pages, these Aarowin camera testers are not listed under new or discontinued equipment.

He actually said it was calibrated in 2020, not that it was made then. I don’t think it was clear when it was made.

Kyoritsu does seem to still make shutter testers, though not that model: http://arrowin.co.jp/products/

Does not look like a calibration sticker. Looks more like a serial number sticker to me. Compare to the X-rite calibration certificate below. What do you think?

Thanks for the Aarowin link!
