Kind troubleshooters>>I have to stopdown my Rodenstock APo Ronar 480 totally in order to get any clear image. However this is so dim that its very difficult to see anything at all!! Is there something wrong with the lens ? (Ive just bought it second hand). I can't see any
focussing knob on the lens.
Everything I read regarding focussing seems so fine tuned (tilting etc) that Im thinking the problem is either me or the lens/shutter mounting (copal 3).
Am I being stupid or are you able to see clear images on the ground glass screen at f32 or less?
P.s. my camera is an old Eastman 2D 10x8. Also I have two lens boards stuck tog eather.. as the hole diameter is right in one, whilst the square's size is right on the other. I dont think this makes any difference since it does not appear t o effect the distance between the lenses.
