Also typical for film is the shorter DOF - which, finally, has slightly to do with it because size of the medium influences the DOF - the smaller the sensor the deeper the DOF when enlarged on the same size as the film shot. And if you don't have a M8, R-D1 or a hi-end DSLR with fast primes, digital also means slower lens - even more DOF. But the low key/underxposure of your digital shot is not medium specific. That's the photographer's job - if on- or post-production! Didier >Frank and Didier, > >I usually don't get too involved in these discussions.
