AB, modern films are capable of resolutions well in excess of the typical camera lens. Using 100 lines-per-mm as a working standard, it would take >6 megapixels to provide an image as sharp as you might obtain with a decent 35mm SLR.

But that doesn't include the delicate shading and edge clarity provided by the variable granularity of film .. especially in B&W (rather like comparing the harsh sound of a digital CD to a phonograph record playing on an audiophile's tube-type stereo). It would require upwards of 100 megapixels per picture to satisfy an Ansel Adams afficianado.
