Film is \"dirty\" - the grain and/or dyes are really noise. The substrate is really poor. We are fooled into thinking there is more detail beacuse of the random artefacts that hide real low-level detail. But blow it up and it looks like what it is - garbage.
Your experience with film must be very out of date; the latest emulsions capture remarkable amounts of detail, and I\'m only shooting on 4x5, not even 8x10... to match the detail in the first 40x50 print I got made, you\'d need a 150 megapixel full-color sensor.
You can look at it from \"normal\" viewing distance as well as up close, and it olds up to both.
