I've just received my first LF camera last week end and started to play a little bit with it before venturing into taking actual pictures. My first impression i s that the image on the GG is awfully dark, making focussing almost impossible w ithout a lupe, even with the fairly fast lens (5.6) open at full aperture.
Is this normal or is my GG defective or too old ? The camera is a Toyo 4X5 monor ail which seems to be between 15 and 30 years old (actually very hard to estimat e) but in excellent condition. The gg is not particularly scratched and I cleane d it up thoroughly.
If I need to replace it, are gg's standard and readily available ? Are they expe nsive ?
Thks in advance for your answers. This forum is a wonderful place to read and dr eam about LF photography.
