re: How little you know about "good old" 35mm film
There is one thing about "good old" 35mm that you
forgot: it's the fact that it is not digital.
It is true that a 35mm negative or slide has a
higher resolution than today's most advanced 20+
Mpx digital camera. But when it comes to
transferring this high resolution (printing photos
on photo paper, or scanning slides for prepress
purposes) you ALWAYS loose this high resolution
and you also loose color information. Simply too
much factors are involved in the process of transferring a photo from a 35mm film to another
support.
So in the end, an inferior (speaking of
resolution) 24 Mpx camera RAW file gives better
final results, is more useful and is less time
consuming than a 35mm film...
If it was not the case, digital photography would
have never dethroned the analog photography in the
first place...
