Howdy, folks,

A fellow at work yesterday asked me about the relationship between the
ISO/ASA rating of a film or digital sensor and its dynamic range.  I
told him I didn't have any idea (because I don't) but I'd check around.
 You folks are part of "around". :-)

My intuition tells me that there are actually two relationships here:
the theoretical one and the practical one.  That is, even if higher
ISO/ASA theoretically leads to greater dynamic range, the practicality
of the situation is that the additional noise probably swamps any
additional range pretty quickly.
