Digital BW, The Print

Diane, I bought a used P67II with metering finder on ebay this
January. 45mm and 75mm lenses with a metering prism. I scan the 
negs on an Epson 2450 in 16bit. A full-frame scan is about
6700x5200 px at 2400 dpi. If a sample scan would help you figure
things out, I have some I could share, but they are large 
files ~ 68MB. They aren't what you'd get from a drum scanner, 
but would be representative of sharpness and resolution from the 
Espon desktop scanner without an exotic wet-mounting rig. Contact 
me off list if you are interested and we can work out the details.

I'm not an experienced MF user (usually Wisner 4x5) so I can't
compare it to Hassey's and Rollie's etc, and I've only run 
about 20-30 rolls of TMax 100 through it, but it meters perfectly,
the lenses seem fine for the sorts of subjects I like -- 
landscapes, old graineries, still-lifes -- and the negs seem 
wonderfully sharp. I usually work on a tripod, but I tried it 
handheld too, just 'cause I could. :-)

I print using UT-7 inks on a 2200, btw.
