Re: [Digital BW] Canon D60 Question

Hi Austin,

Cluck Cluck Ba WAAk! :)

Austin, when you use the best equipment there is, I understand that your
scans are going to be superior to my little but beloved D60.  But if 
you just use regular equipment, you will see a difference and the
digital images is better. IMHOOC!

Wish there was some kind of an image we could both take that would be
identical. I would take it on my D60, Canon Macro lens, IS0 100 setting.
 You would use a film camera, the lens of your choice, provia film, and
print a DARKROOM print of it. We'll put the same images side by side,
and see which is the nicest, most desireable, best looking, sharpest
print. I have full confidence my image would be better at any size up to
and including an 11x17 print on 13x19 inch paper. 

Jerry :)

No. You'd probably use some fancy high priced scanner that would blow
away my little D60.

But if you are talking film darkroom prints, see above.

However I don't know how we could get basically the same image.
