Digital BW, The Print

I have just acquired a Mamiya 645. Once I pick a film,
PlusX125,  TMax100, PortraBW400, I plan to do some
comparison shots between my 4 MP Olympus E-10 and
the film scanned at 2000 dpi with my Polaroid SprintScan45.

Output via an Epson 3000 with Cone driver and Cone or MIS
inks.

The results may be subjective, way too many variables to
control or normalize, but at least I will not be attempting 
to force one to be best. 

( I think, from some early observations, the digital will
produce prints equal in quality up to ~ 12x16 print size.
The PlusX125 cannot support heavy sharpening due to grain.
Other films to be eval'd this weekend. ) 


Best,
Alex
