The slide will have a greater tonal seperation than negative
film. This is the number one thing that I notice when comparing
slides to negatives of the same subject.
Slide film may have a narrower range of captured response, but
it's spread out over a greater range of "stored bits" so to
speak.
To use a B&W analogy: I can shoot and process a negative to N-1
development. The result is a much softer negative than if I
shoot and process it to N+1. When printing these two negatives
I would have to use two entirely different grades of paper to
get the contrast ranges to match. Comparing areas where you
neither have the extremes (the N+1 neg will blow out the
highlights and shadows), you will see a marked difference in
tonal seperations between the two prints.
