RE: [Digital BW] Digital cameras vs. Film Scanner

2003-11-09 by Ed Mathews

I'm posting here as a character witness to Matt, just in case
anyone thinks he's legally insane. <g>  I sent prints to Matt, one from
my D100 and one from a scanned negative, both printed on my 1280.  He
noticed on my images also that the image from the D100 had light banding
while the scanned image exhibited no banding.  Mind you, the D100 image
banding was very slight and I had not even noticed it, but when Matt
suggested that, I did a little research and did indeed find it to be the
case in most of my prints.
     This really might be a new and legitimate realization that merits
some sort of testing and explanation.

Thanks,
Ed
