I copied many B&W prints for our 2006 family re-union website, and also for
some old-school sites.
I used the E-1 and manual Zuiko macro 50/3.5
I have been amazed at the detail this combination can retrieve from even
blown-out prints - stored away carefully in old shoe boxes and the like.

I saw the print of this again just the other day. It is barely 2 inches wide.

The top two links.
This 1932? large print has my grandfather and his brother in it. I split in two
do create legible details .
After I posted these, came the deluge !! A whole host of images.
I don't know if these links will work for non-members. If not, I apologise.
And two from my own family history pages.
The top one was from a tiny, dreadful, print.

I was even able to drag out of the print some detail of the embroidery on the
bride's mother's dress; this was quite invisible to the naked eye. Doesn't
show too well on this rather small web image.
This one is of my parent's wedding - a studio photograph print
