I'd love it if the Zone IIIs and the Zone XIIIs were rich in detail, and it were up to the photographer to let them sink into gloom or bleach out (in Photoshop), prior to printing on Alps MD5000 dye-sub printer. Speaking of which, has anyone attempted to produce an 8x10 black and white negative from this thing, which would be suitable for contact-printing onto ordinary #2 paper?
