[HUG ] Re: tripods

It;s the same for the CD vs Records ,  There is a roundness to music from a 
record that you just don't get with a CD just like there is a tonal quality you 
just don't get in a digital print.  Some call it distortion, I like to call it 
old school richness.  There is something about a reproduction antique, too 
perfect maybe??

  Bob,

  I have several images from my Xpan that were both optically printed and 
scanned and printed with Durst equipment. There is something about the optical 
prints that just isn't there in the scan and print examples. 

  Also, I must interject my feelings on the tripod business. No matter what the 
format, a camera on a tripod will always produce the greatest sharpness. 
Weather or not that is important is up to you. Th ere were generations of 
wedding and commercial prhotographers that hand held 'blads with good results. 
In my ownb business, I am sometimes called on to shoot from the tops of units 
in refineries, or from safety cage ladders. I've drug my tiltall up those 
things, and it's no fun. Same for shooting in a cramped weld shop. Things shot 
there are reproduced small, but I have taken negs up to 20x24 and there is 
nothing to be ashamed of. Or, nothing of which to be ashamed.
