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

It's worth something. Not a single one of the photographers you
mentioned, if they were in the prime of their career would NOT be
shooting digital capture, especially Ansel Adams. He told us himself 
decades ago before he died that he wished it was available to him
then. It wasn't.
