Hi,
I have just set up my first ever dark room and am pretty much ready to try my first print! One of my suppliers provided me with a cheap LPL Focus Scope. One which looks like this:
I can't for the life of me figure out how it works. I have come across these insructions:
but when I look through it, I just see a blur. Can't see anything on the negative. I have the lens aperture stopped down to f/2.8, and no filters, to maximise the light, but there is nothing. I have seen some versions with what looks like a lens barrel attached. No idea what it is for, and seems that most are sold without. Like this:
Pretty sure this is some really basic user error. Some pointers would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Richard
