Hello,
I recently made a simple shutter speed tester and checked the speeds of my old dial-set Compur shutter No.87654, which was lying unusable for a long time. As everybody can guess, the results I got are much different than the factory set speeds. That difference is quite big, but for my surprise the repeatability of the speeds are quite good (see the picture below).
The main thing I noticed is that there is no significant difference between 1/5 and 1/10 speeds (I think that because the fastest of the slow speeds is 1/5 sec and the slowest of the fast speeds is 1/10 sec, am I right?).
I know that there is the possibility to adjust the slow speeds, but what about fast speeds? Are they adjustable or I have to live with the results I’ve got? I’d like to adjust them, because 1/200 is usable sometimes.
I’ll be glad to receive the good advices and at the best the instructions how to adjust speeds, but not those which just advise to send the shutter to somebody else to CLA it for couple hundred of dollars.
Thank you,
Evgeny
