Digital BW, The Print

Bill;

You are correct.. I should have mentioned that I'm not really
interested in making very large prints so the resolution is adequate
for me. Also, although the capture process is QUICK, I'm spending a
fair amount of time on dusting / spotting. The real positives for me
about this is that I can use my existing equipment and the sharpness ,
detail and tonal placement / control are very good.
