Digital BW, The Print

I can't speak for medium format scanners but my experience is that
some of the low end scanners are still very good. It appears that our
own skill level, especially using Photoshop, is much more a limiting
factor than the scanner. I figure that by the time that my Minolta DS
II is the major limiting factor in the quality of my prints, there
will be some newer model scanner out anyway. And it will be cheaper so
that I can throw away my $325 scanner and still be money ahead.
