I did check mine with a home-made set up of a light source shining at the lens, a photodiode circuit and an oscilloscope. My friend who is an electronics whizz designed the circuit. I have the exact numbers somewhere but I doubt I'll find them. There was (as expected) some deviation from the set shutter speeds but this was around +/- 10-20% and I thought that was easily good enough for my photography. If the shutter speeds had been a whole stop out (i.e. +/- 100%) I would have worried.
