<p>Thanks Ray!</p>

<p>Thanks Alexander! I appreciate your further explanation.<br> By the way, what is the formula you utilized in your response? Is there a dynamic range calculator online?</p>

<p>Thanks Alexander.</p> <p>So just to confirm I have this correctly, lets say I puts Hasselblad's 24mm lens on an H5D with 14 stops of dynamic range. The 24mm has an aperture range from ƒ/4.8 - ƒ/32.</p> <p>Lets then say I next use the same 24mm lens on the H6D with 15 stops of dynamic range. I'm assuming that each individual stop now has more dynamic range -- more of an ability to see light at each end of the spectrum? We haven't added an actual stop to the lens' capability, just more dynamic range within each individual stop - correct?</p>

<p>I have a technical question in relation to part of what I read about Hasselblad's announcement of the new H6D.</p> <p>From Hasselblad's website — “The 100MP sensor boasts an incredible dynamic range of 15 stops, allowing for unprecedented detail capture – from the deepest shadows to the brightest highlights.”</p> <p>Prior to the H4D & H5D both had a dynamic range of 14 stops.</p> <p>So here is my question, and I admit it will expose my ignorance of precisely how dynamic range works, but here goes:</p> <p>Does the increase of the additional stop — the increase of the dynamic range — actually add an additional f-stop or does it simply increase the ability of the sensor to capture light as a portion of those individual stops?</p>

<p>Thanks for the info Stephen.</p>

<p>I've seen hundreds of shots like <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/36521446956363697/">this</a> - taken in the middle of the day but featuring black skies. How is this achieved?</p> <p>Thanks!</p>
