About us

Photography Electronics is a self-employed company created and managed by Sébastien.

At the beginning, Sébastien was an engineer, who also had a passion for photography, and was exploring the possibilities offered by old medium-format film cameras.

In 2020, after a few badly exposed films, he decided to build himself a shutter tester. This led to the open source project Shutter Speed Tester.

As many people asked him to make a copy, he decided to improve it and made a commercial version in 2022.
Since then, he has never stopped improving his testers and adapting them to the demands of his users, combining the best of his engineering skills and his passion for photography.

All the devices are designed and manufactured in France by Sébastien.

They are assembled using an artisanal process. The components are choosen in order to minimize those coming from countries having an autoritharian regime. The main printed circuit board is produced in Germany, the main component, the microcontroler board, comes from Wales. The raw material of the 3D-printed casing is bio sourced and produced in Europe.
