Assuming you have a perfecctly exposed Kodachrome 64 (or even 25) slide and a perfectly exposed digital image stored in RAW foramat, how do you commpare them to say which is better - especially if the photos are absolutely identical?

Personally I don't compare them. Digital is certainly good enough for me (and most everyone else out there) and some of the other benefits outside pure quality are a significant part of digital.

I don't compare. I only shoot film when I need to (or somtimes, want to), i.e. the client requires it or I'm feeling nostalgic. I guess I don't see the point in comparing the two anymore.

Mark, thanks for the compliment.

But I have to say... I like your title too! :lol: :lol:


What'd you do to get a title like that?!? (sorry for hijacking, carry on)

Wrong place at the right time (twice), I guess.

It was Petkal's fault.
