Digital BW, The Print

The investment one makes in their scanners and accessories, may have
something to do with how we see "best" or good enough.

I haven't seen Colorgetter software. I'll have to take a look into it.

Bill,

Absolutely agree.   I use Colorgetter 2 Pro to scan chromes and negs to 11 X
14 in and nothing else comes close.  I have a number of other high end
scanners (have a fine art printing business) that are so much more
convenient and faster t though.  Only thing the drum scanner can't do is
glass plates.  For this I use a BetterLight Super 8 in a process camera with
the plate held in a cut out and mask on a light box.
