Digital BW, The Print

Perfect choice, I have exactly the same system...NO PROBLEM with 16 x 
20, I've got a 30 x 40 on my wall at home.

one recommendation though, I chose the polaroid 120 as my 
scanner...cheaper, does 6x9, got rave reviews. It's "discontinued" 
due to Polaroid troubles, but I have a 35mm 4000 and it was flawless. 
Polaroid scanning software also good, but when scanning color 
negatives I use Silverfast 6.

RB67 is much easier to handle - interchangeable lenses, backs, 
extensions, the 4x5's are so slow to setup and manage!
