Great Expectations by Ctein

Grazing the technical papers on the DxO website, I've been struck by how radically standards of acceptability have changed in the past decade.

The level of image quality serious amateurs and professionals feel a camera should deliver is incredibly higher now than it was at the turn of the century.

Exposure range is one good example.

People consider 10 stops inadequate (although that's 1-2 stops better than the very best transparency film ever gave you).
