>>2853919I've found that dslr scanning retains the dynamic range of negative film a lot better than a normal scanner does.
This is a shitty shot I took back in high school that I decided to re-scan years later. The frame was almost completely black even when put under a backlight, but I was surprised that I was able to resolve detail out of something really badly overexposed.
c-41 might not have as much latitude as black and white film, but it still should hold highlights pretty well. Some of that probably depends on how good your scanner is, too.
