Digital BW, The Print

I told you before, I have 2 scans made at maximum resolution on a Leaf
Scanner, from a black and white negative (T max 100, Rolleiflex Sl66,
Zeiss Planar Lens, Tripod, etc. etc.). THe quality is very high, but no
higher than my agfa 2500 T scanner. And I'm certain the new Nikon 8000
etc. can equal it.

Opinion offered.
