Sorry Misha, I probably should have explained that better. Yeah, they are just printing it onto B&W paper instead. For me that was something new. I am just now learning about the magic that happens in there. The hairlight is very sharp in the print and scan. You can even see each individual eyelash on the far eye. I lost alot when I shrunk it down. I am on the wife's machine and don't PS installed on it. Give the man a cigar, medium format was the correct answer. I use the contax at the studio. Really love that camera, sharp damn lenses. As for the film scanning. I was hesitant to post those as I know the scan has fingerprints and dust on it. But sadly, I am stuck having my boss scan my prints (only I and the lab get to fondle my negs). And heaven forbid I mention cleaning the glass on the scanner. Sucks being an assistant sometimes. But hey, I do get free use of the studio whenever I want and the cameras I can't afford myself. L
