Re: [Digital BW] Shooting Digitally

Jerry,

I think tha visually you are seeing an image that looks like film, but in reality the camera would need to approach 16 megapixels to resolve the finest films today.

For example, I recently shot an image in a Charleston Cemetary on 4x5 T-Max 100. In the distance, oh perhaps 2 miles away is what looks like a 6 story office building. I can zoom in on my scan and see a guy sitting at his desk on the top floor. 

Try that with a digital D30 or D1x.

Mike
