At the size it is possible to view them at, even on my 27? iMac, it is 
difficult to see any significant difference. Film has a certain aesthetic 
appeal, but I think that is possibly more for the photographer than the 
viewer. The MM would of course be grain free which would almost certainly 
give it a great advantage on a larger print and, in my opinion, the tonality 
of both is comparable which, from the practical point of view, probably give 
the MM the edge.

Having said all of that, I enjoy the pleasure of shooting film but would 
probably give it up if I could afford an MM - who knows?
