A not invalid comment/criticism. But - a. I'm shooting, not conducting
tests; b. I am not contending that film wouldn't capture more detail
than a 5mgp digital camera; and, c. There is some detail in the shadow
area but I didn't want it. ;-)

Best

You know, if the E-1 or other digital people are going to be convincing
then you're going to have to shoot the same scene with film and the E-1
at nearly the same time. How much subtle detail was lost that film would
have captured in the cloud and especially in the dark building in the
foreground of this image.

If we're REALLY going to understand digital, film, and the
advantages/disadvantages of each then we need to challenge each equally.

Not a criticism, just a small revelation for me.
