Digital BW, The Print

Austin I have had scans made with a leafscan. They are very high
quality. But most of today's scanners could easily equal equal the
quality of that 10 year old scanner. The D-60 comes closer than you'd
think, with desktop size prints.  By the way, wasn't that scanner about
500 pounds, and didn't it take over an hour and a half to scan a 35mm
slide?  The one Monarch Photo in Fargo had took that long and weighed
about that much. He didn't have it long, too unproductive. Too time
consuming. etc.  But nice quality!
