Has Ken Rockwell lost his mind???

Dec 27, 2009

In KR's recent articles, he states that film is superior to digital in dynamic range, quality, and by eye( slides vs. comp screen). Although i think a Hasseblad by now has better dynamic range than film, and image quality. As far as looking at the images, i think a good calibrated monitor is far more pleasing to look at then slides from a film camera.

Any thoughts!!?!?!
