Re: [Digital BW] Digital sharpness vs film- Canon D60

2002-09-07 by Jerry Olson

Austin, you certainly know by now what I'm talking about when I tell
somebody 
that a D60, or D1x image printed on a 13x19 inch piece of paper will be
the 
equal of a darkroom print made from a slide made on provia, or a
negative made on supra or portra 100 negative films printed on the color
paper of choice. Forget all the technical mumbo jumbo and compare the 2
prints. That's what I mean about being equal or better.

I KNOW that. We aren't talking about the same thing. I don't know how to
make it any clearer that what I've stated a hundred times. DO THE
COMPARISON side by side tests. Just do it. anybody. do it.  Tell me what
the results are. 

And I really don't want to continue this discussion any more on this
list. It's been done to death.

Thanks
