Adams, K-factor & middle gray redux
I axed* a question in the thread above that wasn't answered, so hoping
to get a response here. Since the crux of this whole discussion is a difference of a whole *one third of a stop*, my question was, and is, isn't this too inconsequential to even merit discussion, since we're talking about black & white negative materials here? Seems to me that a third of a stop difference, no matter what direction, is basically lost in the noise, and certainly more than adequately covered by the latitude of film. No? * That's how my homies talk. Sorry. -- I hope that in a few years it [Wikipedia] will be so bloated that it will simply disintegrate, because I can't stand the thought that this thing might someday actually be used as a serious reference source. Because in its current form, it's not to be taken seriously at all. - Horst Prillinger (see http://homepage.univie.ac.at/horst.p...06/000623.html) |
