Digital BW, The Print

Charles,

I have seen some astounding prints on 13x19 paper in a couple of print
exchanges and I would agree with you. It is not so much a matter of quality
but of a different feel. At the moment I rather prefer the look I get from
scanned film but I expect that this may change with time and progress.
