Film and digital in the studio

[tbarker13]

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.

Generally, I dont think analog and digital go well together.

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.
