By analogy, the best mechanical wristwatches are "allowed" by COSC chronometer standards to be off by -4 to +6 seconds a day in total variance. >> If your shutter is off by a third of a stop you make up for it in the darkroom when you make your print. If you're five minutes late for your train what do you do?
