Digital BW, The Print

Portra will give you the no grain look of velvia, Shilesh. Also Fuji Reala.


The 4000 DPI scanners give more sharpness and dig deeper in the shadows
than the 2700 DPI scanners.  The Canon 4000 has one of the sharpest
lenses available in desktop scanners at a much better price than the
Nikon 4000, But a lot of photographers really like their Nikon scanners!
If money is an issue, the Canon goes for about half the price of the
Nikon 4000.
