DYNAMIC RANGE LOVES THE 40D!

Here's a full-sized crop of an image I took at the polo match with the 40D. http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/103209055/original This image was just as shot and had no post-processing applied to it other than cropping. Note that the highlights aren't blown and the shadows have little detail, but are not quite down to true black. I'd like to see the film that could give similar results. I'd like to see a posted photo similar to the color negative from yesterday v. the Canon. Really, that's the only way to compare. -- -- r.p.e.35mm user resource: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- r.p.d.slr-systems: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpdslrsysur.htm -- [SI] gallery & rulz: http://www.pbase.com/shootin -- e-meil: Remove FreeLunch. -- usenet posts from gmail.com and googlemail.com are filtered out. |

Roger Clark did a comparison some time ago http://www.clarkvision.com/imagedeta...ge2/index.html Funny how that site is "good" to demonstrate "bad film" but is "bad" to demonstrate digital weak points... Had he over exposed the film he might be gotten more shadow detail, but for a normal exposer film, at least Kodak Royal Gold 200, has very poor range in the shadows. That is indeed true. And also of most of the "comparisons" in most of the sites out the made years ago, with bad scanning technique of bad film and badly exposed images. Not surprising that it looks so bad overall... Slide film is of course much worse yet. Actually, it isn't. |

I am not sure what you are thinking here, slide film has maybe 5 stops of range, I don't know of any negative film that is that narrow. The output of some slide film is on the order of 10 stops, because it is so high in contrast, but the capture range is very small. It can compess 10 EIs into 6-7 in the latest emulsions - that "5 stops" nonsense is just urban myth based on info gathered 8 years ago. More than enough to do anything you might like with a colour monitor or printer that can hardly do 6 EIs in 99% of the cases. |

"of course much worse" is not a universal truth, it's just parroting urban myths. I prefer facts. You should try looking at those instead of believing everything you find on the net. Do you believe this guy: http://fakechuckwestfall.wordpress.com/ as well? I don't, but he's funny. |
