Obvisiouly there is a difference, but which do you prefer?

Granted neither shot is some award winning children’s portrait, but this is about the differences in technology.

One image was shot using my 5D mkII as a RAW file and converted to grayscale using the LR preset. Nothing else was adjusted – straight out of camera to B/W. The other image was shot on Kodak TMax 400 film with a Mamiya 645 Pro TL medium format camera. It was scanned, and only touched up for dust.

Both were shot at ISO 400, 1/60, f/4.  The 5D image was created with a 100mm lens.  The Mamiya with a 150mm.  Pretty similar when you consider the crop factor for the negative sizes.

Do you prefer one over the other?
