As usual, this is a overly-wrought mental gymnastics exercise with 0 real world examples provided. All hang wringing and no pudding.
Go out in the world and shoot a challenge scene at DR100, 200, and 400 and come back here and post your findings, as you so often ask others to do, Dmitri.
Oh and provide the RAW files while you're at it.
Scott, I went out in the world (though, admittedly, only a few steps from my house, as it is too cold in the world this morning!) and have taken two series of shots of a high-contrast scene:
1) at ISO80 (DR100) - ISO160 (DR200) - ISO320 (DR400)
2) at ISO500 with DR100, 200, and 400
I processed these raw files in Capture One while using exactly the same(!) adjustments, then exported 3200x2400 jpegs at 85% quality. These jpegs can be seen in the following uploads.
Feel free to examine the raw files and comment on any relevant observations.
