Digital BW, The Print

Tyler, I have been very pleased with the Nikon 9000
series(can't remember exact # at present [?9800] and I
am in Seattle now and not in St. Paul where it sits at
present).  I have used it for 6X7 and 6X6 cm with
verygood result -- including some from old Tech-Pan
and Agfa 25 negatives -- quite sharp and with good
tone. My studio-mate in St. Paul had also wanted to
use it for panoramic negs but alas it will NOT do
these even when we try tricks.  It broke once for no
apparent reason but they (Nikon) fixed it free -- but
that took a while... BTW, Steve from First Hill
Diagnostic Imaging where I work in Seattle is a mutual
acquaintaince -- y0u and I should meet face to face
someday... I might want to bring the Nikon Scanner to
Seattle and leave it at someone's studio... if I could
use it from time to time, since I'm only in St. Paul
now about 1 week a month and needing to let my studio
space there go.
