In the thread " LF vs MF lens quality", Stewart Skelt reported on comparisons of scans of "a bunch of 35mm, 6x6, 6x12 and 6x17 shots." Michael Reichmann also scans film before comparing shots.
Pardon my ignorance of digital photography, but would y'all take pity on me and please explain how and why more can be learned from examining scans of negatives/transparencies than from direct examination of the negs/trannies? I've never got it, I still don't get it, and the practice is so prevalent that I fear I'm missing something important.
Thanks,
Dan
