On <http://hugin.sourceforge.net/> you can see a panorama of mine shot in 
my hometown on a very bright day. Velvia slide film was used and scanned 
with a better Imacon. They claim 4.6 and they have. 
On the scans the sun is slightly outblown. Detail is everywhere in the 
darkest parts with a magenta cast.
Nearly all my images are processed this way and thus far superior to any 
digital backs I have seen except of the Spheron HDR scancamera. 
Slide film can nothing do about insufficient scanners.
