although that ship has long sailed, here goes: well, analogue film had resolving power, which was measured in lines/mm and digital, of course,
has resolution (in megapixels). apples and oranges. film was not made to
be scanned digitally, but to be enlarged optically. After 2 years of
film , I had foorgotten how good it was, after almost 20 years of
digital photography. With a hand held flash shot, in Agfapan APX 400,
regular grain, not T-grain I made a succesful enlargement in 30 X 40,
only the focus of the enlarger was a bit tricky as I had to open the diaphgram to get an acceptable exposure (30 secs @ F 5.6).

Welcome back to the "dark side". (Dark side = darkroom)
I respectfully disagree with "apples and oranges". I say it's more like
two different types of apples. Also, megapixels doesn't directly give resolution, but it's a good indicator of it.
This summer, I had the opportunity to move back to my old home town. I
looked at about a dozen houses, but the one I bought had a perfect*
space for a darkroom. Once I saw that space, I knew I had to have that
house!
* It seemed perfect. On later inspection, I found that I had to remove
door frames from two doors to get my color processor in the darkroom! Removing and re-installing door frames is not that difficult.

transparency films have much more dynamic range?
