Carlos,
These are good photographs, what is important though is that other than a few
marks (which can be touched out),the negatives have produced probably as good a
result today as they would have done 50 years ago. Will we be able to say that
about digital shots taken with the cameras of just 5 years ago, in 50 years
time? Nothing will make me believe that digital files will out last silver as
the 'master copy'. The only thing that can be done with a digital file is to
make many identical copies and store them in different locations to reduce the
risk of loss in a disaster scenario. Loss of quality would be the downfall with
making duplicates from a negative/transparency. In 2000 years time a negative
could be viewed by an archeologist but a CD would have him thinking about
flying saucers. ;-) The actual prints are a different matter though.
Thanks for your comments about the magazine.
Best wishes
John

Subject: [rollei_list] The Rolleiflex 2.8C fifty years ago
These two photographs taken by my father were scanned from the only two B&W
negatives I could find for the time the photography was his main hobby. He
developed them with Kodak D 76 and the film is Perutz Z (only data in the negs
edges), I had scanned one of the negs with my former scanner and my father
disliked the results, he is more comfortable now with the results from the
Epson. My father said me yesterday these photographs were taken the year I or
my brother were born and then 1956 or 1957; the 2.8C I used and use to take
several of the photographs in my gallery was two or three years old only...
