Default Should I buy a 6D or 5D4?

Doubly so for the specialty UW Ecktachrome that Kodak made for a few
years, where one had to add a filter to your strobe.


it doesn't matter how trivial it is, only that it's possible, which it is.


Try reading again: I said it was *not* trivial. Which also means that a trade-off
decision is merited, such as to decide to forego digital with extensive post-processing
just to try to replicate what was very easy with film.

And sunbursts are still not as good/easy with digital vs film, as the
(non)linearity aspects of the two are *quite* different...and not something
all that recoverable in post.


since digital has a wider dynamic range than film, there's less to
recover, if anything.


Nope. "Wider than film" doesn't cut it, as the scene still has more DR than
what even today's best digital can address, which is why the non-linearity
of film plays a factor in affording more forgiveness.

This overexposing beyond DR on digital is substantially uglier than on film,
and it's been a known issue for years within the UW Pro's.
