Well now my MTL3 has to be set at 25asa for 200asa film, for correct exposure...well I was looking on the net on how to adjust erm seems simple with three pots after taking the base plate off :eek: BUT come across this from another forum:-

How to test a shutter:-
"The MTL 5 is a very good camera. I own 3 of those models. The shutter is vertical, metal bladed; one of the best designed and made. You can test the shutter against a TV set with pictures running. Remove the lens, hold the camera against the TV a few feet away, open the back of the camera, look through the frame and fire the shutter at different speed settings starting with 1/60 sec and go higher. Fire several times at each speed. At 1/60 sec it should show full frame. At 1/125 sec it should show half frame. At 1/250 sec it should show 1/4 frame. At 1/500 sec it should show 1/8 frame/ And at 1/1000 sec it should show 1/16 frame. Full frame would be all of 24mm. And 1/16 frame would be only 1.5mm wide strip of the TV picture."

Well I assume it's based on the TV sync speed and would assume American TVs are the same as UK ones.
 
It will depend on the hertz refresh on the tv, if its an LCD/Plasma they can range from 50-600 odd. Even an old CRT can be 200. But long as you know what it is, you can work out what settings should produce what.
 
its based on american NTSC standard 60hz refresh CRT telly, uk PAL standard is based around 50hz (and multiples thereof for the fancier kit :)
