Nikon may argue that their Dmin is measured with the exposure set low, and
Dmax with the exposure set as high as possible. This means that they can
get up to another 2 to 4 stops(!!!) into their claimed DENSITY
RANGE. Which might explain why they use the term Density Range and not
Dynamic
the phrase "Dynamic Range"
(and give 4.2). However the 8000 ED product sheet reads "Density range 4.2" (though
