Digital BW, The Print

Austin,

I am ready to upload the test scans to my website, but I am 
having network difficulties.

I scanned the same negative with three different scanners.  I 
used a 120 color neg. because that seemed to illustrate the 
problems of "grain aliasing" more dramatically than b&w and it 
provided me with more information about the abilities of each 
scanner.

I will post the link as soon as it is up.
