Simon is asking for links and publications as to where the cross over might be as to when to switch from film to digital or the other way around. ...in terms of light levels. And the personal experience of others, (he's seen some impressive results from a friend) so that would be nice too. But I strongly feel that Simon has to take up his Noctilux and load his favorite fastest film into his dedicated M3 body and have the film handled in the way he likes to have it handled in the soup du jour he likes best. And print it at the size he tends to print of have it printed. Make some bigger ones if that is sometimes the case. And shoot at the same time the same subject with his or rented DSLR and print that close to the size of his film prints if he's not into a groove on inkjets. (Inkjetting tends to be bigger that most peoples prints which tends to be 4x6's and are therefore it seems to me much more demanding) I think the whole process, the whole workflo has to be done in the real world real time. Real. Links and discussions and publications don't cut the mustard. The proof is the pudding. Hands on stuff needs to be done by oneself. You can't eat pudding on the internet. The pixels make it come out too gritty. I'm dreaming of RGB tapioca...!
