<p>I can't believe in this day and age that someone actually thinks that digital has more dynamic range than film. It's not even close. Are there any real photographers here that actually work in a darkroom and make wet prints? Not only does film have more dynamic range (f stops) it also has much more exposure latitude and won't blow out the highlights, nor muddy up the shadows. But of course, w/ film you have to know what you're doing. If someone doesn't, then it might be possible to think that digital has more range. I guess.</p>
<p>Sending film out to a lab is one thing. Doing it yourself and knowing when to push it, when to pull it, how long to develop it and in which developer, how to agitate it, which film to use in the first place, and in which camera/lens w/ which filter, etc, will give someone a huge dynamic range. Then there's the art of wet printing it, which can add much more flexibility to the finished image. Digital certainly has it's charms, but dynamic range and optimum IQ are not them.</p>
