bull****. Graion cannot be scanned with ANY vailable scanner. You
need an electronic microscope to do that.

Hang on! Did you ever do your own enlarging of B&W film?

and colour as well. Cibachrome.

If you did
large enough blow ups you didn't bother focusing the enlarger by
looking at image detail, you focused on the grain.

Yup. Around 15X blow-up, THEN and only then I used the grain focuser to FURTHER
magnify the image. And yes, the grain would be visible. With slide film and
Cibachrome.

The case pointed here was Tech Pan. Have you ever tried to focus Tech Pan using
that technique? I can promise you a very big surprise. The same goes for Adox
CMS20 and the "Rollei" clones.


I've probably still got mine somewhere, along with my pneumatic bulb
shutter releases and red filters :-)

Still got mine. AND a microscope.
