Pacemaker Speed focal plane shutter test

[Dan Fromm]

df, I respect my Speed. I see it as a Leica interpreted by BLH or the Altoona Works.

Like a UP Challenger, or a P-51.

My pre-anny speed (circa 1938) still works perfectly. It was a press camera (name of the Paper on the inside of the camera, and on a bag mag), so it got a lot of use, but not abuse. Take care of them, and these old buggers just keep going. Dependable and zero maintenance. What more could you ask for?

I have never checked the shutter speeds, but at the speeds I usually choose, the negs are exposed correctly.
