If you were comparing two negatives from different formats, I
would agree with you without question: the smaller format will
show more degradation. But comparing a film negative in
enlargement to a digital image printed to different densities
... No, it doesn't quite translate into the same thing. Digital
printing to a size is purely a matter of pixel density to paper,
not magnification.
