Well of course I am a true believer of "it doesn't matter." It is a 
beautiful image regardless the capture medium. I got a hunch about certain 
"digital" looks vs. scanned film. As you may know, I scan a lot of (Provia) 
slides at 4000 DPI. All these times, I was assuming that may be it's the 
lens or resolution or whatever. However, I am seeing the same kind of 
things with the R-D1 using the same lens. Specifically, the "look" is that 
digital skin is just a tad "smoother," may be it is because while Provia is 
nearly grain-less, but not grain-less. I don't know. Personally I prefer 
the film look, but that may just be me. I am starting to print large 
enlargements from the R-D1, lets see how they hold up.

Of course if your picture is in fact scanned film, ignore everything I just 
wrote, and I will make up some other lame ass excuse :-)
