How To Test The Shutter Speed On Vintage Cameras : Film Photography : Shutter Speed Tester Review

In this video, I show you how to test the shutter speed on your vintage camera. It is no secret that as cameras get old, various parts can start to wear out, and the performance of the camera can be greatly effected. Sometimes, a shutter speed you select on a 50 year old film camera is not exactly the speed that it is shooting at.

I discovered a very handy tool that tests the shutter speeds of your vintage cameras. This tool is very easy to operate, and not that expensive. If you have a "go to" film camera from the past that you still use to shoot photos, it is very important that the shutter speeds are accurate. It can be very easy to underexpose or overexpose a shot when your shutter speed in incorrect.

With a very simple setup, you can use this tool to get an accurate reading of your camera's shutter speed. In the video I show how to do this in a few easy steps. If you collect old cameras and still shoot with them like I do, this can be a very useful tool.
