Bob,
There are two different density ranges working here. Chromes have a
limited ability to record a range of real world tones compared to
negative films, but the range of density recorded on the chrome can be
very high. If you expose a transparency film to a scene that perfectly
fits its ability to record subject information, the resulting chrome can
have a long density range--easily 2.0 or more.
Couldn't agree more that the ultimate is to work from direct in-camera
negatives. IMO, in the long run it's the easiest way to get good
results. But chromes shot under soft natural lighting or under
skillfully handled artificial light should produce acceptable enlarged
negatives.
