Digital BW, The Print

Ernst,

The Polaroid was the first decent film scanner I bought (in 1999, I
think). I have found it to be a very good scanner for B&W negs, and
the graininess with silver-image B&W does seem to be a little lower
than that produced by the Nikons. It is the only one of the bunch that
I bought Silverfast for. I've found that I can rarely improve on the
B&W scans I did with the Polaroid by using the Nikon 5000 for example.
Maybe that just means that I've learned nothing in seven years.

Best,
Helen
