Larry, on the note of digital and film and the differences, I'd be interested in reading your thoughts in depth should you have put them to text? you mention linear digital and a curved response of film ... Is that what explains the "depth" that film seems to portray??

Here's a good summary of linear vs non-linear capture. I suspect the difference in look is down more to the nature of the sensitivity curve, contrast / micro-contrast and granularity (one is highly uniform, the other is highly random in its distribution). It's probably a combination of these factors that go together to create the 'look' of certain films.
