Several different photography texts I have checked say that color
images have a tonal range of 8:1 to 16:1 at best, while black and
white images have a tonal range of 144:1 to 256:1 at best.

I have seen color images that have been reproduced, in print, in
black and white and they always look "flat." I have always assumed
that it was because of the limited tonal range.

I woul think that this would be a good reason for shooting B & W
film as opposed to converting a color positive to B & W.
