One way to get a ball park idea on curtain speeds being "atleast close" is
to open camera back, set to 1/1000 manual, remove lens, hold camera up in
front of a television, look through shutter as you fire it. If curtain
speeds are close you should see a diagonal band of light maybe 1/8" wide.
If you see no band, then curtains are not traveling at the same speed and
slit is closed (first curtain too slow, 2nd too fast).
