PESO: Enthrall

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

It's a great scanner, one of the best according to Ed Hamrick (author  
of VueScan, which is what I use to drive it). I have not found that  
the digital ICE reduces sharpness by much if anything. Of course,  
it's always best if you can avoid using it.

These two photos were captured with it from Kodak Advantix B&W  
negatives (APS format) and print to very nice A3 size:

They look grainier here on-line than the prints do. Detailing is  
pretty amazing for small format film.
