I am wondering how useful barrel lenses are for general landscape, and still life shots. How accurate is exposure? Is camera shake and issue? Does the 'hat' or black card shutter spill light onto the film?
Any folks who use barrel lenses outside process controlled enviroments want to offer suggections? It would seem to me, using a ND filter and/or very slow film (iso25 or 50) is the best choice to get exposures long enough to time with a stop watch. Is this realistic for sunny landscapes?
Sorry for all the questions. I am new and just trying to figure out if I should pick up a 'cheap' barrel lens.
