Digital BW, The Print

Thank you.  Obviously you were happy with the results (of the portrait).

  I have seen some other complaints about the landscape, but its been mentioned a number of times (and in that thread too) of how so often the 'test' samples are just not good quality--for one reason or another (of many different camera bodies from several different mfg.) so perhaps given a different photographer--and a RAW file, the landscape could be quite different.

  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.
