Re: [Digital BW] Digital vs. Film: the ANSWER

I printed the portrait of the woman with the flowers in her hair.

I printed it 10.66 x 16.50" on an Epson 4800. I then cropped out a 
section of the lips, nose and an eye and printed it 8x10".

The big photo was printed on EPGPP and the 8x10 was printed on 
Kirkland. Both with PK.

The Epson driver was used through QImage. " OFF- No color Adjustment" 
was used with one of the Atkinson profiles (a GretagMcBeth).

I would like to have had a RAW file to process, though no one 
probably supports the Mamiya format yet.

I would love spend a day with the camera to shoot some portraits.

this time again to know what others have)?  Just curious.  I've been 
looking at those samples and dled several.  Not too long ago I was 
looking at a used Mamiya or Pentax system, but backed off that.  Of 
course, no way I'll be able to afford something like the Mamiya ZD 
but decided I would wait--and probably go FF in the future 
(digitally) since I'll never print 30 x 40  *smile*.  20x30 would be 
my absolute top.  Still---these certainly are interesting.
