"The original comments were not being made RAW vs JPEG but rather what RAW gave you. We were looking at film vs digital in a tonal sense. We had not gone down the path of format; 35mm vs 8x10, 1/2 frame vs Full frame."

Eric,
Maybe what is confusing me, is why there is even a discussion about "film vs digital" in a forum about "Digital BW."  There are many other locations for such a discussion.  There is no comparison, its talking apples and oranges.  Both are fruit, you may have a preference, but they will never taste the same.  

After using film for 72 years and digital for one, will never go back to film. Doubt any discussion it would convince anyone, who chooses to use digital...  When I can get what is desired in a finished print from digital, that is all that counts. Went to your website, both of them.  If those images are shot with film, am not convinced that you are doing better with film, than can be done with digital.
