    Description

    It’s very important that you read the entire listing, not just the summary! Please read the entire listing before buying or asking any questions!
    If you are experiencing problems making a purchase please tell me. eBay switched my account from the classic PayPal payment system to the eBay managed payments system and sometimes there are issues.
    Listing summary: You get a shutter tester that can measure shutter speeds and curtain speeds (vertical and horizontal shutters) up to 1/8000th of a second. The tester can also measure shutter speeds for stereo cameras and shutter and curtain speeds for Leica cameras with a non removable back (like the Leica IIIa) without the need to take the shutter out of the camera (some technical limitations apply). Also, I offer 90 days money back no questions asked and 24 months warranty. If you decide to return it, I will also pay for return shipping (some limitations apply) and give you an extra for your inconvenience.
    Contents of the kit (as seen in the product photo attached to this listing):
    - Main unit;
    - Sensor Box (measures shutter and curtain speeds). The black box can be used with 35mm cameras and cameras that have a flat back.
    ;
    - Cable tester (next to the sensor box). The cable  is suitable for cameras with bellows, TLR cameras or cameras that have the shutter far from the edge of the back of the camera.
    ;
    - Light source (next to the cable sensor);
    - Stereo sensor kit (marked with a red band);
    - Stereo light source (next to the stereo sensor kit);
    - Sensor holders (2 pieces, the round parts);
    - Shutter tester for smart phones and tablets (blue band).
    This is a GIFT. It can’t be used with the main unit.
    - PDF manual;
    Specifications:
    - Shutter tests up to 1/8000th of a second;
    - Curtain tests up to 1/18000th of a second;
    - Shutter tests for Leica cameras with non removable back up to 1/1000th of a second (as far as I know this is the fastest speed for that type of camera);
    - Curtain tests for Leica cameras with non removable back up to 1/200 of a second (if you remove the shutter from the camera you can do curtain test for all the shutter speeds);
    - Half curtain tests (this feature is useful if the curtain hangs somewhere in the frame);
    - Digitally controlled light source;
    - Stereo camera shutter test kit that allows for stereo cameras to be tested;
    - Color display;
    - SD card slot for SD or microSD cards (with adapter) to save all the tests and copy them on your computer. The card is not included. The tests are saved in a TXT file on the card and individual test sessions can be made for each camera tested. The TXT format allows you to read the results on different computers with different operating systems without any additional software. If you want, you can copy/paste the results into a spreadsheet or other software that you use;
    - Dual power from power adapter or battery. Battery or power adapter not included;
    - Extra accessories that allow you to easily mount and align the sensors and light source;
    - Dedicated testing modes for specific equipment (like Hasselblad lenses);
    - A test assistant that will tell you if your test is correct or not.
    Very useful feature that will help you do accurate tests.

    - The attached photo shows the shutter tester package on the top and 6 screen shots on the bottom (menu, shutter tests, curtain test and stereo shutter tests). For some reason the photos of the menu and tests were very difficult to take and don’t reflect the display quality. In reality all the colors, letters and numbers are bright and crisp, the background is solid black and individual pixels are not visible. The haze is caused by reflections from the light source used to take the photos.
    - This is the latest version of the vfmoto shutter tester that can test both shutter speeds and curtain speeds. The first shutter and curtain tester that I made was sold on December 5th 2012. The 1th shutter tester I ever sold was on April 28th 2010. It was a simple Audacity tester. Up until I made the curtain tester I never saw anyone selling an affordable curtain tester. It's absolutely shocking to me that some imply that this tester is a copy of their tester. If anyone would bother to look into the model history of my shutter testers they would see that this tester is a evolution of my previous testers. I always tried to innovate and bring new features to the shutter tester. Proof of this statement is that on April 24th 2017 I started selling this tester that is capable of testing shutter and curtain speeds for Leica cameras with a non removable back, without having to remove the shutter from the camera. Also I worked 10 months on the tester assistant that tells you if a test is OK or not and added the ability of testing stereo cameras, fulfilling a request a customer made more than 1 year ago. As far as I know there are no other testers that can do this. Maybe someday there will be and the sellers will claim that these features are also copies. Mind boggling! I have no problem with competition. Competition drives progress. It would be nice if it were fair and honest competition.
