Description
Shutter-Speed works together with the PhotoPlug - a small sensor which connects to the headphone jack of your smartphone. If your smartphone has no headphone jack, you can use a TRRS adapter cable.

★★★★★
If you buy the photo plug optical interface this app works accurately. However, it is cumbersome to use as you have to input the desired shutter speed each and every time. Just checking any single lens or camera is a very slow process. It would be great if the developer would update the software to allow more automated measurements. A direct readout of the measured shutter speed would make this very competitive, for which I would be willing to pay as much as $20.
★★★★★
It works well enough. Getting exact measurements are going to be difficult with sound only, at least on my compur and copal shutters, but it's good enough to figure out it the shutter is way off and needs cleaning or if it's good enough.
★★★★★
Very useful app once you get the right hardware to go with it. You can use it without the photo plug, but you are very limited in range of shutter speeds that can be accurately measured. The only additions I would request are, adding a 1000/1 option and some way to automate the shutter speed testing routine, so you don't have to scroll through the list of speeds every time you measure. The app is well worth whatever I paid for it, I bought it so long ago I can't remember what it cost.
★★☆☆☆
Had I given it any real thought I would not even spend the dollar? A slr
makes all kinds of internal noise, mostly the mirror. You can't separate
shutter from mirror sound.
★★☆☆☆
Doesn't seem to work right. Doesn't seem to work very well on my Zeiss ikoflex.shutter speed to choose is 125/250/500...
★★☆☆☆
Sucks basically. A waste of time considering it does not accurately calculate shutter speed. And there are zero instructions which makes it virtually useless. Update to developer: you're most welcome.
★★☆☆☆
Tried this with my Rolleiflex TLR, using sound measurement method. I could find no consistent way of identifying the "peaks" that indicate the opening and closing of the shutter, at speeds from 1/500 to 1/30, the only ones I generally use. And most measurements were wildly off -- I've used this camera for years and I know the speeds are fairly accurate. Maybe I could get more accurate measurements by buying the Photoplug, but I'm not going to spend $29 to find out. A waste of 99 cents!
