I don't understand how the Kodak sensors don't lend themselves to 
"Expose to the Right".  There's no metering involved other than running 
the histogram to or near the right hand edge of the graph.  Are you 
saying that those Kodak sensors can't handle a brightness level near 
maximum?  Or that your histogram lies, or... what is it?

I find the statement suspect.
