David I don't think a d700 can touch ektar 100 or t-max or plus x off of a PMT scanner.Not even in the ball park. Better then off an epson anything sure.

them. My Fuji S2 blew the socks off 35mm film for any use except OTF
flash automation. Everything since then has been better and better; my
D700 leaves 35mm film so far in the dust you can hardly see it from here.
Stitching certainly has constraints, just as large-format cameras do, or
rotating-lens panoramic cameras for that matter. Multi-pop studio flash
techniques don't work with moving subjects either, but were still useful
quite a lot. And you can get things like moving water remarkably
successfully with stitching, so it's not totally limited to static
subjects.
