Re: [Digital BW] Scanning 35mm vs digital camera

2006-03-23 by Helen Bach

Well, apart from the ability of colour negative film to capture
between 13 and 15 stops in a single frame scanned once, there is no
reason not to do the same with film on the occasions whan 13 to 15
stops is not enough. I admit that registration of two neg scans is not
as easy as it is for two digital frames, but it isn't difficult.

Best,
Helen
