Film response curves: best choice?
When comparing different film IL/density curves, I understood that some
films have a pretty extended density range (i.e. TMax100, HP5 and TriX) than others (FP4, Delta100). Of course, each film being developed in its ideal developer (ranging from TMax to Ilford DDX). I guess that the paper response is also somewhat limited in range. Therefore, my question is: is it better to work with an extended response film or with a more limited one when looking for the maximum amount of details? I also guess that if the film density range exceed the paper on, the a large amount of details, especially in the highlights, may be lost, so the advantage of an extended response range film would also be lost; Resulting simply in a more contrasted image in a limited film density range. Thanks for your comments, Emmanuel |
