After doing many film tests over the years my friends and I have had some 16"x24" and 36"x42" prints made from 50 to 200 ASA slide and print film.
These shots were done with lenses that range from 16mm up to
1000mm and I have yet to see a single digital shot with the same detail.
Some have come close using multiple exposures and many filters, but only close and after spending tens of thousands of dollars on equipment and four times the total exposure length.
This is just my opinion but many of my friends share it.
