One area film has it over digital

Rendering of dark areas. This is a shot from Dpreview's new gallery of pre-production test images from the Canon 5DIII. 3200 ISO. I raised the illumination level 25% beyond theirs. Look at the black background. Film doesn't produce that ugly, mottled effect. It simply goes black, which means all the silver/die simply washed away leaving the base of the film. That is not "rendering" black - that is the total absence of data! Apples and oranges! I think you're lost! If you want that in digital just use levels! If you think color film can compete with 16bit digital images you need to take a course or something... I shot Ilford BW for years and it had a super wide range, but it was BW... and you had to know how to run a darkroom... and I don't think it was 16bits worth but maybe. (each bit is roughly 1 stop) |
