Re: best scanner for b&w

2003-02-22 by Stephen Kobrin <skobrin@hotmail.com>

I agree.  I have scanned it for a few years and am always impressed 
with the results.  It is different than other Ilford films (Fp4+, for 
example,developed in HD11), but it scans beautifully.  (I rate it at 
320 rather than 400.)

The only problem I have is finding a lab that takes reasonable care 
with the negatives at a reasonable price.
