>>4382259Here you go. Left is 35mm Provia 100F shot during the daytime, right is R6 at ISO 12800. R6 was down scaled to film scan size, then 1000px crops taken from the background of each.
In this case I might give it to Provia by a hair. But neg films definitely had worse grain than Provia 100F. (Except Kodak Supra 100, which was awesome while they made it and scanned very well. That could compete as well. I was pissed when Kodak discontinued Supra 100 and 400, Supra 400 was my favorite 400 film in 35mm.)
The RAW was processed with default (low) NR in ACR. If I turn it completely off it's a little worse. But then again, other RAW converters will show less, and the JPG is cleaner ooc.
So I'll be generous and modify my claim: ISO 12800 is a little bit worse than the best ISO 100 35mm films, equal to or better than many ISO 100 films. The break even point is actually ISO 6400. But at 16x20 there's nothing to choose between the two even at 12800, even against one of the best low grain films.
