Hey Eliot.......did you ever push a roll of film through your r35t?
As long as I resurrected this old thread (and possibly have people reading it again), would it do any good to test shoot a scene (using center averaged metering on both cams, and same ISO, aperture and shutter speed) with a digital camera? Are the exposures likely close enough? If I shoot a scene at ISO100 at f8 at 1/60 on my digital and review the shot and the exposure looks good, will it likely be OK on film, too (assuming the film camera is suggesting similar parameters)?

I want to say I've actually done that, Luke, and yes it was basically the same exposure. Only differences were the color tones of ektar and the softer old glass. But the exposure was pretty much the same.
A real live gf670?
hmm.
The very idea of a "blown highlight" is a bit peculiar if you are considering film - or at least, negative film (slide film is more like digital from that perspective)
Much earlier on in the thread I made the point that digital photographers generally set their exposures to ensure that highlights aren't blown, but that for film you generally want to set your exposures to capture the maximum shadow detail.
If you start shooting film as if it were digital, you will probably end up rather underexposing it.
this is the first time I've seen this advice about exposing for the shadows,
