In my workflow, 2.9 is near the lowest DR for a full-scale print, and I
usually use negatives with a DR over 3.0. This is with the classic Pt
formula, no Pd, no contrast agents (although I often use a weak gelatin
"solution" to make the sensitizer -- but I have not found that this affects
the exposure scale). With negatives having a DR of 2.2, I cannot even
begin to get the full range of tones in a print -- great for "high key"
work, but useless for normal prints. Again, with my workflow.
Best regards,
