I had the need for prints from some 50 year old B+W family pictures that I
didn't have the negs for.
I don't have a flat bed scanner & decided to shoot them with my K20D & my
200mm f4.0 ED Macro.
I shot them using a tripod, making sure I was perpendicular to the image
plane, using available light & being mindful to eliminate glare off the
originals. I shot raw, ran them thru CS2 (including applying a small amount
of unsharp mask) & printed them (slightly larger than the original image) on
my 12 year old Epson Stylus Photo printer.
The results are simply astounding ! Its hard to believe the final results
came from the 50 year old original - much clearer and sharper. I seriously
doubt if wet prints off the original negs would even come close to the
digitally produced images.
