I have shot slow speed 50 asa agfa print alongside Velvia for a project on signs and the Velvia was more accurate on the colours and had almost no grain. The same scans done of the print film looked awful in comparison, with poor colour and more grain. Not to start a big argument, but if you compare an original slide to a digitally output copy of that slide, it will look inferior. When I was at a show by Galen Rowell, some of his images were obviously digitally edited and looked awful. I am sure he is using the best digital service he can find to do his outputting. All this is dependant of course on how big you project them. A digital slide may be fine for smaller projection sizes. Galens were projected probably at least twenty feet accross.
