<p>For iso 1600, I use pushed provia 400x for colour and neopan 1600 for black and white. They both look nicer to me, although I'm sure they're 'objectively' worse. I'll see if I can upload one of the images (I've not tried this before). </p>

<p>The aesthetics are something most people don't understand, or can't see. Which is why most people talk about resolution and latitude. Digital is higher quality in number of pixels (in small formats), but looks completely different. Whether or not you like that look, or can even recognize it seems to vary from person to person. Sometimes, I don't understand how people don't see this 'quality'. It's not colours or contrast, since different films have different levels of these. It's just something else, in both neg and slide. I just use film since I like that quality, even though I don't know what it is, and I know I can't get it any other way. If you don't see it, or prefer the digital 'look', you'll be happy with a dslr.</p>
