Re: [Digital BW] Re: The State of Personal Scanner Technology

I used to use the Mamiya RB 67 almost exclusively. I'd set it on a 
tripod and operate it in the "mirror up" mode using a cable release most 
of the time. I normally used PanX and the pictures are alsolutely 
something to behold. After not doing much the past few years and getting 
back into photography seriously the past year or so, I find myself not 
using the RB much - less all the time - since when I do I miss the 
adjustments on my 4x5. The more I use the 4x5 the less I want to use the 
RB. In fact it's on Ebay right now. No use in it collecting dust since 
it still takes wonderful prictures. From my experience 2400 dpi scans on 
the 2450 of 4x5 give very good images to work with.
