Tim,
I have the next comparison for you - black and white! I'll toss down the gauntlet. Back in the 1880's, in your country, there was a man named Frederick Evans. He made the most amazing platinum prints, filled with the atmospheric quality of light. There is an aperture monograph in paperback that is pretty good. You may already have one of these...
I'd suggest using a film like Ilford Delta, a developer like Xtol, and comparing it with a digital camera. The goal would be to achieve perfect smoothness of print, matching as close a possible, a platinum print. Reasonable sharpness is expected, but the resolution is not the issue, its the smoothness I would be after.
Can do?
I'll do the scans if you want...
