Film vs Digital - Dynamic Range
in The Wet Darkroom: Film, Paper & Chemistry
Posted
Film has log color but it's still scanned by a linear scanner. There's no such thing as film. Everything is
scanned & viewed on a computer eventually, using the exact same linear photodiode technology. It's should be no
problem
to make digital camera sensors capture exactly the same image as a film scanner but it hasn't happened. Scanned
film still has better color than digital sensors. Maybe its because they can average data points over a
longer time than digital sensors. Maybe projecting artificial light through a negative allows more information
to be captured than directly sensing natural light. In the mean time, U might be better off shooting film &
scanning it if U really want the best color.
