The only problem with this idea is that, sadly, the laws of physics and common sense have not been repealed. Photographic lenses in general are not very good. They only appear to be good because people very seldom enlarge or closely inspect images. Lenses are subject to many kinds of distortion, all of which are more difficult to engineer around in a zoom lens. However, none of these are as good as prime lenses in their focal length range.
Modern film is extremely good.
Modern camera bodies work very well. The limiting factor in the quality of your image will almost always be the lens. If you want to achieve a good result, you must have the correct lens for the job and it must be a high quality example of that kind of lens. Lots of companies make high-quality lenses. Sadly, none of them have figured out how to break physical laws and do so cheaply.
