Digital BW, The Print

and now for my two cents..............

I recently purchased a Mamiya 7ll 6X7cm and associated
lenses on Ebay for less than 1/3 the current retail
price. The equipment was in perfect shape and the
images I am getting from Fuji Velvia professional 100
and TriX are simply stunning. I scan with a Nikon 9000
and just couldn't be happier.

Go for it

MY TWO CENTS:

If quality is any concern, don't worry about it.

I saw a small exibition of prints by Ian Adams, a
nature 
photographer, that used a 6x7 format camera
w/transparancy film 
(Fuji, if I remember correctly).

The photos were print on an Epson 9600 at 40"x60". Yes
INCHES!

These photos were STUNNING! I was blown away by the
quality.

So, I don't think you're crazy for considering the
Pentax 67 and 
scanning the film to be printed. I'm sure you'll spend
a lot less on 
a Pentax 67 outfit and a Nikon 9000 scanner than you
would on a MF 
digital outfit that would cost $10-30,000 for a
digital back.
