I agree.  I think they are nice looking copies, definitely better than a cheap poster, maybe intentionally less sharp than the originals, and a way for the Adams family/trust to make some money without selling off the family copies (probably the best) of the originals.

I would like to see a high res. scan of a small midtone segment of one of these copies if someone on the list has actually purchased one. I'm curious how much separate color is being added to the grey inks.

(Back to working up some 5d2 shots of Yosemite.)
