In this short essay Michael Reichmann demonstrates why digital photography is sharper than film, all other things being equal. It’s all about the clumps!
Good thing too because film is dead apparently.

The Michael Reichmann article is wholly inaccurate, he mistakes what happens at an atomic level within each grain with the grain itself.
Individual grains are not binary, but filamentary like a wire wool pad, the more photons that strike the grain the denser the ‘wire wool pad’
