People keep saying that, but I wonder. I suspect that color balance gets out
of wack (or something else goes wrong) if you overexpose beyond what they
are designed for. If overxposing were a sensible thing to do, the film mfrs
would say so. But they don't.


Over all I don't think DR is a large problem for either film or
digital, but the film fans that keep using the high DR of film as a
reason to shoot film often don't have a clue about what they are
talking about.


Hehe. Sounds about right.
