Digital BW, The Print

EOS 3 +Sigma 17-35 - Canon 28-135 - Just trying Kodak Tech Pan.

The problem is that although the old KTP looks very good it is quite obvious
that a negative 4X the area is going to look a whole lot better.

While I knock off my snaps in the usual way, my ambition is to produce the
worlds greatest A3+ B&W - well one will do - before I die.

A quite reasonable ambition I feel as i will indeed be doing much hiking as
long distance walking is a my hobby.

In the UK there are about 200+ long distance paths i.e. anything over
100miles - and the best country is the wildest forsooth.
