My point was that the limited DR of chrome had qualities to it that were favored over DR by ... IDK, millions of folks. Conversely, millions preferred the DR of negative print film.
YOU may ALWAYS favor more DR. There is countless historical evidence that more DR is not ALWAYS BETTER. I mean, just in case you never heard of it, there was this film called Kodachrome and there were one or two folks that liked it. Funny thing ... they paid more for it and got less DR than they could from negatives. Surely, folks that took images for Nat Geo, etc. would ALWAYS want more DR because more DR is ALWAYS better ... isn\'t that right?
