Hmm. Is it possible to move the single sensor left and right within the 
shutter opening to read both sides of the shutter with a single sensor? 
Or do these sensors not allow left/right movement? (Considering the 
purchase of a tester as found at http://www.homestead.com/cameratester/ 
or a similar one found at www.micro-tools.com). What sort of shutter 
tester do you use?
