Thanks, Chuck, you beat me to this one. I also use the A1 for
copy/restoration too. However, I find that a single RAW image
converted in RSE is more than sufficient for any practical size.
Usually, any more resolution is lost on the fact that you are
running into the ultimate resolution of the original.
When converting in RSE, I get things as close as possible to
"final color" and "density" as possible. This way the only
editing is cloning and healing brush types of stuff. This
addresses your 8-bit concerns.
The A1 is especially adept at this kind of work because the lens
is remarkably flatfielded and there is a good range of focal
lengths with no visible distortion. Oh, and the live monitor!
:)
I also have used the E-1 for copy work and it's just fine, but
the A1 edges it out for ease of use, quickness and the grid and
scale "focus screen" overlays.
