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? ;-)
