I almost hate to put this in the film v. digital forum, since I'm really just trying to see if I can use them together.
I've recently decided to start shooting some film alongside digital during some of my studio shoots.
It's a little cumbersome juggling three cameras, so I don't always duplicate the same shot. But I did get essentially the same shot with the smoking one below.

Of course, not everything here is equal. The M8.2 was using a Zeiss 50 Planar. The D700 had a 70-200.
The M2 was using a rigid summicron. The film on these was Arista 100.

Again, I'm not trying to prove anything to anyone. I personally like the results from both. One thing I have decided for certain is that I really like the rigid summicron.

Film scans are technically digital images, they have more range but still are far off showing what exactly the neg is capable of.

A more accurate comparison is printing both, one through a nice digital printer and the film through the darkroom and judge them then.
