Digital BW, The Print

Hi Peter-

If you are going to go to all the trouble of making beautiful 8x10 negs, I
hope you will consider the advantages of drum scanning them before locking
into a flatbed. While it¹s true that wet mounting kits are available, they
will not get you the focus precision that you will get from a drum, and they
will have all the noise problems that every CCD scanner has in smooth 3/4
tones.

From my point of view, I would look at the
film/lens/camera/scanner/software/printer as a system, and make sure that
one of them doesn¹t negate the strengths of the others.

FWIW, IMHO, YMMV, yadda, yadda.

Regards,
