I just checked, Didier.

This was taken at 1/80 @ 4.5.

BUT ... since I had digital, I jacked the ISO up to 1600 rather than 
remain at films 400. If I had left it at 400 and ended up with 1/40 @ 
2.8 (yes, I was using a IIIf for film and I shot it at 1/40), then the 
depth of field might have been more similar. Or if I had shot the 
digital shot wide-open (f2.0) instead of stopped down, which the higher 
ISO allowed me to do.

The digital shot is with a Nikon and a fixed focal length 35/2.0 lens.
