DEAR LIST,
Thanks for the Dag URL! It is wonderful. I never cease to be amazed by
the incredible detail in old Dags! It is even more amazing if you consider
the lenses they were using...Dalmeyers (sp?) at best...not even
anastigmatics!
I know that the fine detail comes partly from the fact that the image is
made up of EXTREMELY small particles of silver/mercury...definitely NOT the
larger silver grains resulting from amplification caused by modern
developers. Now what I am wondering is what wonders of detail are available
from modern, perhaps apochromatic, lenses used with the Dag process. I am
not discussing detail as an aesthetic, just as an aspect. It must be
FORMIDABLE! Someone wrote that they devised a special magnifying device...A
close look must reveal wonders!
CHEERS!
BOB KISS
