OK, show me digitally duplicated TriX semi-stand developed in 1:100
Rodinal.


This is an ExposureX2 Tri-X simulation with a Rodinal developer treatment:

This example pretty much illustrates my point. That might me Tri-X in
Rodinal at 78 degrees instead of 68 degrees.


you have *no* way to know what the temperature of the developer was.

This is more typical:

I have yet to even see a digital "Kodachrome" photo that looked like
Kodachrome.


Then the question should be: which specific Kodachrome vintage, 1936,
1954, 1963, et seq?
They each have a very different tone.


Exactly.


it doesn't matter which specific kodachrome it is. they all can be
matched with digital, as well as exceeded for those interested in
higher quality rather than be stuck in the past.

it's not 1963 anymore.

if abraham zapruder had a digital camera in 1963 rather than being
stuck using a super-8 camera and kodachrome film, we'd know who shot
jfk.
