Curtains Travel Times
Table below is combined from materials from SPT journal and various service manuals. If you don't see your camera in a list but know for sure what is curtains travel time should be, let me know and I'll add it to the table.
If you see two numbers, it usually means 2nd curtain limits, since it have to be adjusted slower
