Digital BW, The Print

Hi

I've been using 35mm film for my B/W landscape work and scanning it. However a few 
months fortuitous work in London (horrid place :-) has just allowed me to consider 
moving entirely to digital. In a few weeks I'll have finished my 'sentence', and will be able 
to spend some time getting the hang of a Canon 1Ds and then printing the results on an 
Epson 9600.  :-))

I've been shooting commercial (event and PR) work digitally for some time, but found that 
the quality was not there (particularly at wide angle) to match what I could get from film. 
I'm going to take film with me as well when I go on my tour, so I can do some real 
comparisons. I'm looking to document the process on my web site and hope it will be of 
interest to other people...

I did consider moving to MF and buying a new scanner etc, but the 1Ds will be of 
considerable benefit to the rest of my business as well. On the other hand the bulk of the 
1Ds with a couple of decent lenses is not dissimilar to going out with MF ... not something 
to have hanging round your neck very long :-)

bye for now
