"At this time, it seems to me that low light film tones, even with the mandatory digital "post-

processing," have a greater dynamic range than the tones of most "primary digital" images

after "similar" post-processing."

 

Well thinking about that, I would say it depends on whether the film was "normal" speed film

with longer exposure time in which you can let the tones extend, I would then agree. But on

the fast films, like 1600 etc and even more or pushed films, I think tonal curve is drops much

faster, less shoulder and thus more like digital, so at a certain point, I think its a wash. Where

that is, I dunno, don't think it matters that much for street shooting.
