Inspired by Essexash's MF v's D800 thread, another film vs digi shoot-out, this time between a 12 mpix Panasonic G2 micro4/3 camera and 35mm film, both using manual focus Canon FD lenses.
[this is utterly frivolous, BTW
]
First up Panasonic G2 with Canon FDn 24mm f/2.8 lens. PP and b/w conversion in Adobe Lightroom the day I took it (which was 31st July)
From the same spot, a few seconds later, with Canon A-1, FDn 50mm f/1.4 and Kodak BW400CN. Scanned with Vuescan on an Epson V700 and PP in Photoshop CS5.

I didn't look at the digital version for about two weeks before doing this.
The digital version has a fraction more detail than the 35mm when you look close up, but that's probably as much down to the limitations of the V700 as anything else.
I must admit I was kind of surprised how close they were otherwise, though I discovered I'd accidentally cloned out some real spots of white paint on the brickwork of the building on the left, thinking they were dust on the neg
