So I've had my field camera for a couple of weeks now. Love it. I'm limited to what I can take photos of because I don't have a tripod yet so I've been mainly doing still life indoors. Since it's a half plate ive been shooting paper negatives and I'm having some issues. It's taking a very long time to get a half decent negative. Is ten minutes indoors with lamp light and the aperture on f10 unreasonable? Even then the scan turns out light. Outside in bright light at the smallest aperture it takes about 30 seconds to a minute.
Lens is un named with a Bausch and Lombe Unicum shutter.
Is it just a very slow lens? Am I doing something wrong? Pardon me if this has been discussed before. I've gone through some threads and haven't seen anything that would address this. If there is an existing thread please direct me to it
