Re: [Digital BW] Better Scans, was Re: Print Exchange

While I'm sure what Harvey says about better scans is true*, I'm always
struck by the diversity of tools people use most all of which end up working
quite well indeed. Your $350 scanner included Harvey. It certainly didn't
jump out as lacking in any way.

*look at Micheal Kravit's print from a drum scan to see what I mean. Superb
Michael, a phenomenal print. Look at the fine details in that mans bags and
textiles. Uh! Could you elaborate on what film format you actually used for
this image? BTW, I know the reason it's so fine has more to do with your
mastery over the tools than the tools themselves, but boy, nice set of tools
you got there! ;-) Could you elaborate on what other scanners you've used
and the difference the Howtek makes? ;-)
