Apparently I should have written a shorter post to allow you to soak it all up. Older B&W prints will not exceed 300 ppi resolution, the paper resolution just isn't higher than that, and as a general rule, resolution will be far less because few people used the best cameras and best technique, and the drug store printing that was done back then was all over the place for sharpness as well. John, there isn't much point in continuing this. This is, to a great extent what I did for a living up until a few years ago, I know of what I speak.
