Digital BW, The Print

This being a DIGITAL B&W group, maybe somebody (me) should mention
that a contact scan of sheet film is inevitably going to be sharper
than an optical contact print, perhaps even with cheap flatbeds (eg
Epson 3200), not to mention more potentially open-looking and more
controllable.  

This is relevant IF the small print enthusiast really is interested in
visual detail, not so relevant if it's more an exercise in nostalgia.
Not that there's anything wrong with nostalgia. I loved my old
Agfa-Ansco with its 360mm Turner Reich convertable :-)
