While admiring some really sharp images in the LF Forum (not those with obvious PS over-sharpening) I've wondered how digital film scans and enlarger prints compare for sharpness. I've been pleased enough with my enlarger prints, but in a comparison today I note that the digital scan sees a lot more detail. Is this comparison typical or is my enlarger lens (Schneider 150mm Componon-S) operating below par? Opinions please.
These are cropped from the central focal area of the 4x5 image, about 3 cm on the film.
