Scanning film does not negate using fine lenses. My scanner has a very high end APO Rodigon in fact. It has a very nice diffuse light source as well. > it just > occurred to me "digital" was becoming the wave of the future. I pretty much do scan all my film, and make inkjet prints. That in fact means I have to use high resolution films, and fine developing techniques, or my scanner outruns my film. I scan 35mm at 5080. Printing and scanning still require careful film choices and more so very careful development. But the fundamental issue that you can't get over 40lp/mm from 35mm without using a tripod still exists. I'd guess very careful technique may get you to more...but still, not in the realm these films are capable of. Austin - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
