Until I recently purchased a hi-tech shutter tester (not Calumet) I suspected, but didn't really realize how inaccurate our traditional mechanical shutters were, especially at the higher shutter speeds...until I purchased this hi-tech solid state shutter tester. When I think of how man sheets of Ektachrom e I used in bracketing, I shudder to think of the expense, over 40 years. Does a nyone know the tolerances, percent wise, for shutter error in our traditional me chanical shutters. I had heard that it was 10% up to 1/30th. and 25% above that. ALso, has anyone heard anything about a more accurate shutter that might be in development, or are we just the old sytle 'traditional' types, that have been passed by,..by the high tech world of 35mm a nd medium format?
