You know I always feel that film treats blacks in photos better than digital does. Sure digital can recover more detail from darker areas; but the way that film renders blacks generally appears more pleasing to my eye (granted in digital you can get similar effects by adjusting sliders but its not the default view it gives).
By default view you mean the camera generated JPEG and by film you mean negative film -- nothing cuts to dead black faster than a color transparency. I've gone round and round for years with many of my academic colleagues over this. There's a wide range of different media available for us and there are variations in character and performance, but it's our job to learn to use them all to advantage. For years so many of my colleagues resisted the transition to digital with excuses about how film looked better in this way or that or digital didn't give them as good this or that and my assessment of the bottom line is they didn't really want to take the time to learn something new. Not that that applies to you. We're craftspeople -- we learn our craft.
