As one of the world's foremost cinematographers on some of the grandest scales (No Country For Old Men, Skyfall, Prisoners etc.) Hearing these words from him ring truer to me than any side by side lab tests.
"The 35mm advocates would argue that the digital cameras, while they are improving every year, they still don't beat the quality of the image you can achieve on 35:
'Frankly, I totally disagree. I don't know what a better quality image is or how to describe it, but I didn't start shooting with a digital camera until I felt the image was superior to what I could get on film for what I wanted to achieve. Other people have different ideas on that. I understand that and accept their opinions, but I don't agree with them'."
