A reality in my neck of the woods, is that it is not reasonably possible to get optical prints. All the labs have gone digital and are therefore scanning your film. Even my 67 stuff was not looking that impressive. So for a reasonable cost per print and not having to travel long distances, comparing scanned film (digital) to digital is more fair than it seems.
