A retired physics teacher in Tulsa changed how I check shutter timing
I was in a bind with an old Pentax that kept firing off beat. A guy named Frank, been repairing since the 70s, told me to stop trusting the light box so much and start tracing the actual mechanical snag in the curtain travel. He walked me through measuring at 1/1000 with a simple LED and a photodiode he rigged on his bench. Has anyone else gone back to basic electronics instead of shelling out for calibration gear?

Man, forget the light box, that curtain snag is usually just dried lube.
