How Many of you Check the Shutter Speed of Your LF lens?

[John Z.]

I use the Calumet shutter tester; it works well, and is easy to use. I have found that newer Copal and Compur shutters are very accurate in general. The problem is the older shutters; ILEX, Alphax, and Betax shutters can be off by 1/3 or 1/2 stop. It is important to check these shutters in particular.

Between Carol and my wife, it's a tough call who spoils me more!

Gotta love 'em both!

I've had a few wives. (Always gave 'em back to their husbands when I was done.)

But Carol's different. Yeah...she spoiled me. What she can do with a shutter...

Zing!

Ha! Didn't mean it that way, though. I meant it more as "Props to Carol." She has a way with shutters. And carburators. And fish. Heckuva girl!
