Thanks for your comment, Jim. My impression is that film handles harsh 
contrast and depth of colour slightly better. My M8 does a marvelous job 
with colour, no doubt, and specifically when light is fading, but I have a 
hard time getting the same blues and reds and yellows the (very) ancient 
IIIC and lens provide! But this is a very partial point of view, I 
know.Jean-Michel
