Well, John, it's time for another aspirin .... too many graphs and charts
and logs of this and that. However, one paragraph stood out amongst all
the techo talk:
"Before I go any further I should point out that
this test is only going to produce a theoretical
result. Since I am testing film, the dynamic range
that I will be calculating will be much higher than
any figure normally quoted for film because very
small changes will be detected. At some point
these changes will become irrelevant to the
appearance of the image but since this is a subjective
judgement I'm going to leave it at the calculated value
for now. I'll return to the subjective arguments later."
