Interesting point. I\'ve been following the 5D2 shadow debate with interest. The question for me is whether DR is the natural range of the sensor without heavy PP (which my moon picture relates to), or is DR how much PP work the image will stand before it falls to pieces.
Don\'t know the answer to this, but I can\'t help but feel that some of the complaints about the 5D2 shadow noise are really about poor exposure, not true DR. Perhaps I am being unfair?
To be clear, in the original RAW file of my moon image the outer clouds are black, and show no banding. I visualized those clouds as being black when I chose the exposure. If I then tried to \"open up\" the clouds by a few stops to make them gray in post, and had banding, wouldn\'t I be being unreasonable? If the camera file records black, shouldn\'t I expect that tone to print black, and then be happy?
