Here is the D800 image converted to B&W I did my best to match tones. At this size you can not see much of the extra fine detail but the D800 is very much sharper and more detail as we would all expect, but my point is the Rollieflex image would still make a very good 16x20 inch print!

The D800 image has a far wider range of tones with very good shadow and highlight detail compared with the film. Perhaps the Rollie image could be worked more. It would have been better match if I had used an orange filter.

I have found this a very interesting little exercise so hope it is also of interest here. It shows just how far we have all come in the last 15 years in terms of quality.
