There is far more detail in this particular neg than my scanner can read, and even with the downsizing to fit a computer screen I still like the image quality. Even so if I were primarily a landscape photographer I'd be looking into a larger film format so I'd have the option of making really HUGE prints with better quality. This was my first roll of B&W film in several years and I must say I like the results. If nothing else, B&W landscapes will keep me pushing that button when the critters aren't cooperating. Next is to get set up for Piezography... Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
