When film photography enthousiasts use their camera to shoot film, this sometimes results in an over or an under exposed film.
This is usually due to the shutter speed of the camera that is not accurate any more. In order to check the shutter speed accuracy, and be sure that the film will not be wasted, the camera owner has to compare the actual opening time with the expected one.
This is the purpose of shutter speed testers.
