Digital BW, The Print

Hi Mark-

Ha! No doubt. However, after years of trying to do fine-art scanning with
both a scitex and a Nikon 9000, and after directly comparing scans of the
same high-quality neg on both an Imacon and a drum (Howtek 6500 in my case),
I know the statement to be factual. On the other hand, as I also pointed
out, not all uses require that level of quality, expertise, and effort.

As an aside, it continues to amaze me that people who spend the time, effort
and $$ to do large format photography then content themselves with flatbed
scans.
