    Long as you're experimenting, I suggest EPY. It's for tungsten also but very fine grain and low contrast. Some day I'll get around to trying it for landscapes with an 85b. Should be good for scanning.

    Why do you use a pseudonym?

    I'm curious...if you are one who uses a pseudonym (or initials or 1st name only) on this forum, why don't you use your real full name? To me you lose cred --as if you have something to hide, IMHO.
