Excellent. You apparently did everything right.

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.
