Let's Try "How many megapixels?"Negative Film

"Maybe 5or6 megapixel digital camera, 135 film equals to"We often heard and listened to such the review or a sales promotion for digital cameras . To say the fact, I had no interest in photograph until a few years ago,  I didn't know in practice how resolution a camera film has.
 Having been bored with digital camera, (digital camera photography don't need the skill so much, mastering PC imaging aside.) I began to use film cameras. I have no film scanner, but I got to substitute digital cameras for a film scanner.  And I found negative film have far more performance than what digital camera promoters had said.

 This film is Kodak PORTRA160.(135 negative film)  Lens ; Cosina Zeiss PLANAR *T 50mm
Can you see the black rectangle line? This area became to the next image.

This image's resolution is far better than  a common flat head scanner.  This image has less area than one hundredth of original. One line equals to 2 pixels. This image seize is 487×328, and depending on lines in the image. Perhaps this image maybe equals to 200,000pixels.

 In conclusion, This trial shows 35mm negative film's resolution estimated 20 megapixels or more over. .

I didn't know how small detail a film can capture.  When I knew the real performance of negative film, it was due to be dismissed in any place I went.　And now digital camera are getting superiority of the resolution to a film.
