Digital BW, The Print

My experience with XP2 and T400CN go back a few years. At the time, the
T400CN gave me a much smoother scan than the XP2. The scans were done with
an Imacon Precision II. The XP2 while MUCH sharper was a lot grainer. While
several years have passed, I am thank goodness no longer dealing with silver
printing of T400CN, I have yet to go back and test these films side by side.
I do have some XP2 that will be getting the chance to be included in the
slow and arduous process of pulling the film archive into the digital age,
if for nothing else for the web. The best advances to film scanning have
been the tremendous availablility of good noise filters.

Hi Harry,

Depending on what's going on - on the film, I scan grayscale or RGB.
Sometimes CYMK, if I get a different look.

I shoot FP4+ and APX100 because the processors around here suck. I haven't
played with XP2.
