[Leica] scanning fever

[Ken Carney]

The posts about scanning incented (that's what the word is in Dilbert) 
me to pull some negs and try again.  Here is one made today from a 4x5 
TMax 100 neg, Rodenstock 210mm lens at sunup.  It is Manly Beacon in 
Death Valley, looking west to the Panamints, and should make a  nice 
16x24" print as cropped.  East behind is Zabriskie Point.  For this one 
and others, I have been using deconvolution software (Topaz Infocus 
preferably, or Focus Magic) for pre-sharpening instead of the unsharp 
mask pre-sharpening variants.  The deconvolution software seems to do a 
better pre-sharpening job, though it is subtle.  Comments always 
appreciated.
