Camera - Hasselblad 503CW. Lens - Carl Zeiss Distagon 60mm F/3.5 CB. Film - Kodak Porta 400. The color negative was digitized by Fujifilm GFX 100S with the same Carl Zeiss lens mounted via FotodioX Hasselblad V Lens to FUJIFILM G-Mount adapter and Fujifilm MCEX-18G WR macro extension tube.
This is a 100% comparison of Fujichrome Provia 100F film shot with a Nikon F80 (and scanned on a Nikon Super Coolscan 8000 ED with Vuescan software) and the same view taken with both a digital Nikon D7000 & Fujifilm X10.
Note: Although the caption above says the Fuji X10 was shot in 12MP mode, in reality, once the image is cropped to match the 2:3 aspect ratio, the dimensions change from 3000x4000 to 2664x4000, which is actually 10.7MP. The width however, is the same as 12MP APS-C.
Also, noise reduction with Imagenomic Noiseware Pro was applied in post to the Nikon F80 scan and the Fuji X10 image. The Nikon D7000 image in the middle had no noise so no noise reduction was applied.
Conclusion? For anyone who thinks film is dead, think again. With a good scanner, some tech skills and a $25 '70s era SLR, you can easily get pro results that few could tell the difference from images shot on a $1200 DSLR.
And for those wondering if the Fujifilm X10 can match or exceed film at base ISO; the answer is "yes" in sharpness, color and dynamic range and "always" in convenience and portability.

Nikon F3 x Nikkor 50mm f/2 AI x Kodak Gold 200 (pushed to 800)
Camera: Minolta SRT Super with MC Rokkor-PF 50mm f/1.7 lens.
Film: Kodak Ultramax 400
Processing: Walkens House of Film, Melbourne, Australia with the Noritsu scanner.
This statue of a convict boy is part of a bigger installation by Irish sculptor, Rowan Gillespie. It commemorates the arrival of over 13,000 convict women and their 2,000 children from Great Britain between 1803-1853. A staggering number, and most of them never went home. But once their punishment was completed they went on to become great contributors to the development of the colony. The man with the hi-vis worker's top reflected in the window is quite fitting in many ways. Typically, working class people were vastly over-represented among the convicts.
I am very pleased with the way the Kodak Ultramax 400 film has rendered this shot. The Minolta SRT is a fine camera and the 50mm Rokkor lens is exceedingly sharp.
An R32 train (Budd, 1964-1965) signed for the (N) approaches Astoria Blvd, running a special train for the filming of a movie. This action brought lots of railfans out to the Astoria Line to see these cars that were retired in early fall of this year. Before their retirement, they predominantly ran on the J/Z service, so the opportunity to catch them on the (N) was too good to pass up! I still haven't been able to time it right with an Amtrak over the top though...
