Film and Digital - an example of beating a dead horse

Hi,
I was on a different forum reading about someone doing an example of film and digital and I decided to pull some slides from 1994 from a test I made with my then new Hasselblad and 120mm lens. The examples you'll see are from a small section of a picture. The time of day and month that I shot the new pictures, unfortunately weren't the same. Also, I found that a lot had changed in 15 years and that the only area that didn't were what I show in my examples.

The 35mm shots look similar to the 120 film shot, but I think that might be because of the scanner. There's a difference, but it's not the WOW-type of difference you see when an optical print is made with each film.

I wanted to see how a 12MP Nikon compared with 35mm and medium format. I know many of you probably went through this years and years ago, but this is my first time. I used the same lenses as I used in the examples years ago.

Here's the full size image.
