Unless you're shooting a DSLR with ~140 megapixels of resolution... it's not the same thing at all.

Unless you're shooting a DSLR with ~140 megapixels of resolution... it's not the same thing at all.
- dboreham 9y agoI'm not sure, but I _think_ you're asserting that the information content of a 35mm Kodachrome slide taken in the 1970's is 140 Mpix. It isn't. Not remotely close. A present-day DSLR (e.g. 5Ds) with a present-day lens is going to greatly exceed that slide's information content.
- abritinthebay 9y agoI'm not asserting anything. A 35mm Kodachrome transparency, like other 35mm transparencies on films of comparable ISO rating, contains an equivalent of approximately 140 megapixels of data in its 24 mm x 36 mm image. Citation: Langford, Michael (2000). Basic Photography (7th Ed.). Oxford: Focal Press. p. 99. Film has vastly more resolution than even high-end DSLRs. This isn't shocking or surprising if you know anything about the space.
