Digital BW, The Print

Austin,

Yesterday a firnd of mine came over and we shot his Phase One H20 back on a
Hasselblad. We used the 30mm fisheye, 120 macro and another lens. The H20 is
a 4000x4000 chip bundled with Phase One's propprietary software. We shot a
scene on Provia 6x6 and the H20.  We ran it to the lab and had it processed.

A couple of hours later we got it back and compared the images after drum
scanning the provia on a Howtek D4000.

I hate to say it, but the H20 image was sharper, had better color fidelity.
The image was amazing.  I think the file size is 48mb or something close to
that. Detail in the digital image was as good if not better than the
transparancy.

Mike
