I use slide film, mostly. I expected to see more difference, especially on night shots where plenty of noise is generated.
Note that I said "thin" and "dense" rather than highlight and shadow ... that was intentional, to indicate behavior with either kind of film.
Slide film is more contrasty and has less exposure latitude before burning to clear emulsion and becoming too dense in the shadows. Multipass scanning can only do a little to help. The best exposures for scanning have a soft gamma curve without blocked up dense regions. Night shots are the inverse of that.
