Ed wrote about inkjet papers: I told the man on the Epson stand that the pictures on the PermaJet stand are much better, and that I will use PermaJet ink and paper when available for the 2100/2200 in April/May.
There are large numbers of really awful pictures: The British Journal of Photography stand emphasised their dislike of digital: all the pictures have grain you could not miss from half way across the alley. On the Fuji stand there is a pretty un-sharp picture of an otter taken with their new 12MP "camera", and I found inspiration in the Joe Cornish's (autographed) landscape book - shot mostly on 5x4, 6x12, 6x6. Keith Myers had a dreadfully over-enlarged landscape; when I criticised his pic of Winchester Abbey he said he was aware of the benefits of movements, and has attempted to design and market a 617 camera - but I will go for the Canham. There is very little serious equipment there (except for a few large inkjet and conventional printers and systems). Phase One was the only digiback I saw, and it seems that they have no idea what they are doing, by comparison with Jenoptik Eyelike, and nobody seemed to know much about UWA lenses for digital. I did not look on the Kodak stand, as they have not produced anything worth using since the Instamatic, or the Aero Ektar. =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
