(have a > magnifying glass at hand) ;) As soon as the film is scanned, the comparison becomes irrelevant. Scanning introduces a lot of issues such as grain aliasing and other artifacts. When someone makes an optical orint and compares it to a digital print, then they are making a valid comparison. Having said that, I owuld be very surprised if a 35mm film print of any speed of film would look as good as a print from a 14mp SLR shot at the same ISO.
