Thanks, As I say it was more of a comparison of "there was not a 20mm equivalent on APS-C" than trying to compare digital to film.
Good to see I could get close if I played around with the files a lot more. I try not to do 'too' much PP work on the digital files.

And that was not my quote, not sure what happened there..... :hmm:

The colours in the sky were much more life like/vibrant from the scan, the digital file required much more processing, and as you can see I could not get it close without pushing the saturation right up. The Shadows were boosted quite a lot from the original digital file, of course I could not do this on the film.
But anyway, thats not the topic of discussion, it was more that you can get equivelent wide angle lenses on APS-C, as the DA 14mm is just about equivelent FOV to the FA 20-35mm, of course the FA 20mm f2.8 would be the best comparison but I don't own that lens.

In Bold above, I have exactly this (taken minutes apart)
APS-C - (K-01) DA 14mm f2.8

FF - (MZ-5N + Fuji 100F) FA 20-35mm f4 (@20mm)

Now you cant compare the two exactly, the K-01 Image has been processed from RAW with Lightroom (highlights, shadow recovery), the MZ-5N straight from the Commercial Scan and little added contrast. But the point is there are equivelent, even the FF lens is much lighter but just as sharp, if possibly sharper at the expense of the all metal build.
The main difference in that was the colour from the film was so much more life like, even playing around with the digital file extensively in white balance/settings I could not match it without bumping up saturation.
The main reason I would love a Pentax FF is just that I can carry one set of lenses to use with 135 Film and Digital.
Also the potential for other advantages mentioned before like lower noise, better high ISO performance, the lens being used as designed etc.
