The face that launched a thousand superstitions
Aye-Aye at Duke Lemur Center
Scanned from a 35mm slide. And yes, anyone who claims that modern digital cameras have matched the image quality of film is lying through their teeth. I scanned this at 7200dpi for a 64 megapixel image, and there is detail all the way down. Look at this unretouched crop of the aye-aye’s eye.

Don't read too much into this because for the most part I do agree that film can out resolve most digital cameras still. But digital can surpass film, and in many cases both film and digital are actually limited by the lens of the camera.
Now when you start getting into larger then 35mm format it becomes even harder for digital to compete, except on the ability to change sensitivities and to shoot more than a few images before having to change rolls.
Both film and digital still have very compelling reasons to use them, much as there's still plenty of reason to use paint brushes =).
Beautiful image.

Yeah, I know that lens quality is often a limiting factor. And I'm certainly not going to go back to shooting film -- I love the instant feedback of digital, and being able to burn through hundreds of shots without having to worry about processing costs.
But I'm being surprised at the amount of detail I can pull from my old slides. I'm glad I still have my film bodies, and I may consider shooting some slides again, in circumstances where I really want the best quality possible.
