other things being equal. Sorry Doug-

Sensor size has absolutely, positively nothing to do with sensor size.
Digital SLRs have the sensor at the "film plane."  Only the lens and
distance to the subject affect DOF, given the same format. 

The dynamic range of color neg film has always had more dynamic range than
transparency film.  From the outset, shooting digital requires a
"transparency" mentality to expose it correctly.  Slides only had one crack
at it--expose and develop.  Neg has that plus the range of the paper used.

... I like the dynamic range of film in certain situations better than
digital, and also the depth of 
field is a bit more narrow because of the larger "sensor" (film) 
size. ...thanks again, DM
