Digital BW, The Print

Here is an interesting link if you haven't seen it already. It shows quite 
well that an image can be sharp yet not have as much detail. The overhead 
door shot with the D-30 actually looks sharper to me (the edges are 
crisper), yet if you look at the "STUDIO 1" sign, you see that it doesn't 
have as much detail as the slide scan.

That being said, I still like the overall look of the (whole) D-30 image 
better; you just can't blow it up as much as you can the scanned slide.

THANK YOU!  I'll be sure to use those links when discussing this topic in
the future!

Hi Mark
Actually, the provia detail is 25% larger, which might explain it's
increased detail.

However, overall I don't think these are very good images with which to make
a comparison:

Exposure is different
Framing is different.

While I agree with you that I like the overall look of the D30 image better,
that may be the result of the above differences.
