pop Posted March 26, 2015 Share #1 Posted March 26, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am very happy to be able to show this picture: Why so? This is one of the pictures on my first film taken with my newly bought user M2. It demonstrates that the shutter works perfectly well at 1 sec: the platter turns at 200 degrees per second, which gives a shutter speed of 1.1 seconds. Not bad for its age. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
