If your printing skills are weak from one source there's no way you'll get better results from that source. It's what YOU get from the camera that matters, not what's theoretically possible. Also your test target will influence the results. A black and white target, i.e., no gray scale, no color, will favor film. Make real-world photos, with real-world subjects, using the skills you will ordinarily use. Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com
