Hmm... I don't doubt what I see; what I doubt is the comparison is true.. Film is analog, and to convert it to digital, and then talk about how it "loses" is not that great of a comparison..

You have "conversion loss" on the film side that you don't on the digital side. The final media is my computer screen, and so the digital side has a 1 tier advantage already. The film is scanned in, which means a "lossy" event has occurred... It is not a fair comparison.

It would be like trying to wet-print a digital image, by first converting it to film, and then making a wet-print. It's not a fair comparison...

I don't know Albert. The images are on the page. Isn't your statement a little like the joke about an engineer saying a bumblebee can't fly because it is aerodynamically impossible.
