It isn't really a question of loss.
The edges are broken by digitization. And then people use sharpening to build new ones, which may or may not faithfully mirror the original subject.

So the digitization is lossy and the post work is destructive?

I get what you mean and I just can't accept the word destructive just because it means to me an intent as opposed to the actual limitation to fully resolve. Which of course has the same end result regardless of the word used.

Nope - digitization is destructive, and post work creates "fake news" :whistling::D.

Outside of lomography films and redscale films, almost all bargain current color print films are high quality Kodak or Fuji products. There are differences between the two, but it really comes down to a point of personal preference. The films are cheap enough that you can pick up a few rolls of Fujicolor and Kodak Gold and compare them yourself.
I have just bought some Lomo 400 and 800 color and they are both made in the USA. Is there another US manufacturing plant for color film? If not then it seems Lomo colour too is Kodak!!

I thought some of the Fuji films I saw at Walmart made in the USA too.
