>>4382271>Ye olde data sheets never anticipated how film would be used today. other peoples scansDumb ass, lp/mm tests are performed with a USAF test chart and a guy studying the frame under a fucking microscope. No scanners are ever involved. You're just a nophoto spouting ignorance. You can capture all that data with a drum or, today, a high res camera scan. But you cannot exceed it because there's nothing more there. Kodak didn't miss a lp under a microscope.
>People are getting 14 stops out of heavily overexposed portraThat would be news to Kodak, who tests their films with a sensitometer. Again, no scanners involved. No, overexposure doesn't help you, it just compresses the highlights, trading a stop of highlight detail for a stop of shadow detail. Why in the fuck do you think Ansel Adam's zone system has 11 total zones, one of which is "pure black" and the other "pure white"? That's because most films are only 10-11 stops.
Oh, I forgot, you've never shot film, never read Adams, never used a scanner or a sensitometer, never posted a photo. But you now know more than Kodak, Fuji, Ilford, and fucking Ansel Adams.
>nooo it's still a stop even if the color is fucked!Oh holy cope. That's not even what happens any way, you just compress the highlights into oblivion.
