I've been using my Anniversary Speed for several
months now, but only with the lens-mounted shutter.
I'd like to use the FP shutter out of curiosity and
also to try and get the leaning effect with panned
action shots. My Speed is circa 1940 and the local
repair guru says he doesn't even have a shutter-speed
tester that can check out the rear shutter. My
questions are:
Is there any way to tell if my speeds are accurate and
consistent? My fall back plan is to make a series of
identical exposures, one each with the focal and lens
shutters, and compare the negative densities.
I I use the rear shutter with barrel-mount lenses,
will the shutter recoil degrade my image sharpness?
Anyone have experience with this?
Finally, when going for that leaning-image effect, any
recomendations on best shutter speeds?
