>>2861639I'm not sure what part of my answer was "autistic"?
>here comes a REALLY autistic answerAsk Objective Provia-san what I think of people who have these fixed ideas of what certain film stocks look like.
A black and white photo on a computer screen is pixels arranged in a square array, each having one of 256 potential shades ranging from white to black. Changing any of those relative to one another is both so trivially simple and necessary to presenting a viewable photo that it is moronic to claim that you know what 'tones' you should be getting out of scanned HP5.
The film is a medium. It's an intermediate stage between the scene that was in front of the camera and my output.
I decide what the picture looks like, not Ilford.
