I have scanned two film backlights from the year 2007 with Kodak Plus X, 
Leica MP, lens ignored. Plustek scanner and Vuescan :

Please compare to the Leica Monochrom with Tri Elmar recently posted:

All these pictures have a slightly touch of Silver Efex Pro, same toning 
applied to all.

In my opinion I can?t say any better quality on film vs MM, except the grain 
of course, I?ve don?t put it on the MM version, I consider it is artificial. 
What do you think?

Thanks for looking, your c&c are greatly appreciated

Saludos cordiales
