Many thanks for the suggestions.

Imacon 5600 dpi scans from K25 make grainless giclée prints at 18" x 24",
from somewhat less than full frame, hence 20X. Necessary for museum shows,
where the prints look truly impressive. (Using Canon on a solid tripod with
the macro 50mm well stopped down, the subject carefully illuminated.)

I'm anxious to retain this capability in future work.

I see that Fuji offer Astia in 32 ASA. Is this close to K25 in
grainlessness?

Thanks, David L
