Thanks Rainer...I think I understand what you are saying fairly clearly: It's possible to make great images with a 35mm camera, but only if you have great skills in doing that. Large format is much better, when you know how to handle film, and have good skills, but that the most enjoyable to use is now the mf setup.
Experience will help educate me too! I now have a six month period of hard work to learn and practice the skills. Now, how much are Contax lenses...? mmm!
Thanks Again

yes in general, but there exist also moods where digital simply is much better than film, for its completely diferent way to handle colors, esp. mixed lights. when i mixed 4x5" film with digital, usually i used for "hard" daylight ( esp. with metallic surfaces ) chromes, with overcast mushy weahthers digital. too simple said, but my choice very often was not resolution dependent.
a.e. here you see one shot, which i wanted to repeat with film cause resolution was at the limit for A3 print,because i corrected the image in photoshop and the top of the building is at the limit for doubleside printing. i went 5 times to location with similar weather,tried negatives as well as chromes of all kinds. i didnt brought out of my scanmate that atmosphere. different moods, also nice, but i was not able to copy that one and it encouraged me so i tried it hard- i had shot it with a kodak slr camera with 0.9 grey filter, 15 seconds exposure time @ iso6. something like that.

next shot was around 4h in the morning on a crane after waiting 1,5 hours. as wienke shoot rats i did that to treat bad me and my assistant, because it was cold and we had made interiors till 2:30.
climed our crane and waited in the hope sunrise might bring some nice light. it did,- sun apeared behind the horizont and reflected in the building. havent tried it but i hardly doubt to get this shot with film.
later come some winter shots of the facades in sunlight. done with velvia 4x5". with the kodak never would have came out in that way. i think with the emotion back now not a great problem,- probably.
