To show variations in curtain speed, many shutter testers have 3 sensors,
opening side, middle and closing side.

| Or do these sensors not allow left/right movement? (Considering the
| purchase of a tester as found at http://www.homestead.com/cameratester/
| or a similar one found at www.micro-tools.com). What sort of shutter

| Yes, I can move mine to the left and right, but there is time variation in
| every shot. Therefore, I would think a person would have to shoot maybe a
| hundred shots in each location to gain significance. It might also help
to

predictably

| fancier than what I have. I went with the $80 cheapo from Calumet.
