Previous thread snipped...
What exactly does this mean? The range of tones, or more exactly, the
range of shades of gray are a matter of the contrast and density range of
the film and printing method. Does he mean the maximum density obtainable
from any combination of films? I doubt it.
This sort of terminology really bothers me.
