'scuse me for replying to my own posts.
Strictly for grins, I scanned an old black and white (Royal Pan,
if I remember my notches correctly) 4x5 in. negative at 3200
d.p.i. It's a great picture of a much younger me, cigarette in
hand, getting out of a Tennessee Highway Patrol helicopter
somewhere obviously in the dead of winter, taken sometime in the
early '60s.
Oh, the scan? A humongous 340.835MB.
Either I'm not ready for digital or digital's not ready for me.
I like my little Olympus 2000Z for snapshots, though.
