I find this hard to believe based on what I see coming off my printer vs the Zone VI Brilliant prints I have hanging on my walls. Granted, I haven't invested a whole bunch of time learning computer based B&W rendering, but to be honest, my B&W film work is pretty much plug and play, so my expectation is that digital should be pretty easy as well. > > Detail resolution ... it depends on the size of the print you want to > make.

I haven't ever had access to a 39mp camera, and I expect that something with that many megapixels would be mondo expensive, which makes it non existent from my perspective.
