Re: scanner for 4x5

2001-10-26 by Tyler Boley

Richard, the discrepancy between Mark's and my post is an important consideration. Grain structure, I suspect it plays a 
role in Mark's work and not mine. The Imacon will definitely outresolve the T2500 in that regard, and no doubt the Leaf will 
too. My films are nearly grain free compared to format size, and anytime I shoot for grain it's so pronounced the scanner 
can see it. 35mm TMZ in Rodinal, for example, and still I wouldn't make a big print from a T2500 scan of that.
