Yep, amazing Tony

As I said, that comparison shot taken with the C5 is a photo taken of an old B&W 8X10 print done in 1985 so the original result was slightly superior but still..no comparison regardless

Thanks Fabio, I sent this comparison to Attila for him to see too and he was pretty blown away by it and yes it is great that we have continued to do this crazy dark art together for so long and we both remember that night way back in 1984 very well, it was a lot of work to get setup and then pack up (not to mention the work that went into constructing the camera and mounting gear) and then develop the negative and print the print...but we knew no different...so we just did it
