Subj : re: Thats the picture... To : Baden Kudrenecky From : Marc Lewis Date : Fri Jun 03 2005 12:37 pm Hello Baden. BK> I think you guys may be a bit behind the times. I BK> don't know of any serious film photographer who can BK> technically compete with digital equipment. I'll have to disagree there, Baden. BK> and I only have to state the proof are in the results, especially BK> for 35 mm format. I only wish I could show you the print we made when I owned a photo processing lab, some 23 years ago. B&W 102x152cm (40x60in) from a Kodak monochrome ultra-fine grain film (ASA 25 or 32, I forget which) shot with one of the Canon aspheric optics, processed in a micro-fine grain developer and printed through a (IIRC) glass negative holder via a 40mm/f2.8 Schneider Companon optic with the paper held on a vacuum easel. The grain is _just barely_ visible on the print. BK> Check this out: BK> http://www.normankoren.com/Tutorials/MTF7.html Yes, this is an impressive array of knowledge and information. Thank you.
