That is a great resource for slides.
What about B/W negs from digital? I would love to be able to make
large scans of some of my negs, perfect them in Photoshop and make
fibre prints. I would suppose 4x5 negs would be best.
Is it the fun of the darkroom, or the enticement of real paper paper?
I don't do b&w in at all now, but I do sepia and have the prints done
by my lab with an Epson2000 on one of Epson's beautiful papers -
Watercolor Paper/Radiant White. If I wanted I could give my tech
just about any inkjet paper for art printing as long as I was willing
to buy the box.
And there are monochrome inksets for some printers, although, since I
don't do b&w I don't keep that info when I get it in email.
But I admit, the fun of doing the printing in the darkroom would be a
big attraction as long as I wasn't in a hurry.
