HI!
I need some help in order to adjust the speed of a Nikon F2.
After months of work i finally get all the speed of the dial, but I think they are no acurate so...
How I can adjust the speeds? Any procedure?

Pinpoint accuracy might be difficult to achieve, but if you're looking for a device to calibrate the speeds, you might do some searching here and elsewhere for articles on using a phototransistor and the sound card of your PC to produce a visible display of shutter duration. I'm not sure just where the articles are now, and I have to leave in a few minutes, but some googling might help.

I found an article somewhere a few years ago and actually made a rudimentary device using a battery and the phototransistor out of a computer mouse, which works pretty well for the slower speeds.
