Sacrilege!
Actually, it opens up the old question of whether digital or film gives the better "quality". I believe a FullFrame digital image beats a medium Format film image..... but that an APS-C image, whatever camera andhowever many Megapixels, doesn't get to that point..... but is at least on a par with 35mm film.
So I'm still interested in acquiring a good Hasselblad, Bronica, Rollei etc - even though it requires the cost of development, quality scanning and more processing. And, of course, once you've developed your film you can't 'recover' stuff that hasn't been recorded, in the way that a Raw 'developer' can make multiple versions to bring out details. Unless, of course, you go for bracketing your shots.
It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.
