Digital BW, The Print

I'm sort of straddling the digital fence.  I have been scanning prints,(conventional wet b&w prints), from the last 30 years, on a flatbed scanner and printing them digitally in b&w.  I likemthe look ofmthem better than the originals on F paper.  If your eye is a few inches away, they appear as sharp or sharper.  Images that were done with 4x5 negs are extremely smooth and grainless, just like the originals.  Street style photography, ala Frank & Klein do equally were in digital form.  At this point I still make a small b&w wet print, witha little bit of manipulation, then scan it and finish it off in photoshop.  I would challenge anyone on this list to say that these prints don't look as good as scanned negs, rather than prints.
