My point was that there is a difference in the final product, It may be slight 
but a difference non the less.  BTW I was talking to a friend who works in a 
lab today about lightjet prints, it's interesting to note that Kodak uses 
316dpi and durst is using 400dpi. even an Epson 1400 prints at 720dpi, giving 
you better quality.

  There is not only a big difference in technology between analogue and digital 
audio equipment for both professional and home use.
  In analogue days the best was not good enough and every precaution was taken 
to ensure optimum quality.
  Pros and amateurs did their utmost to achieve good reults whether recording 
music or playing those recordings at home.

  Now people accept and even will fully downgrade digital recordings just for 
the sake of more content on the same carrier.
  MP3 rubbish would have been impossible to sell in the analogue era.
   
  For some reason sound and vision react differently on analogue/digital 
transfers and recording media.
  The eye seems to be more forgiving than our ears. 

  In audio digital is still being compared with high end analogue like any cola 
drink is always compared with Coca Cola.

    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.
