I think Moose expressed more clearly what was in my mind when he said " the
range of densities on a slide is indeed slightly greater than the range of
densities in a neg. However, the neg records a wider range of brightness
from the subject, i.e. scene brightness is 'compressed' relative to slide
film. "
Thus I think Chuck might well be correct too - a neg can *capture* a wider
dynamic range than a slide can *deliver* (I know what I mean, hope you do
too).

I would have thought it the other way around. Slide film has a greater
dynamic range.

I don't know what was in Yves' mind but from my perspective, the dynamic
range of a slide is much greater than that of a negative, and it must
therefore be more demanding of the scanner to reproduce that dynamic range.

I always thought the dynamic range of slide film was about 4 stops and
of color negative film about 5-5.5 stops. Am I wrong?
