As much as I hate to toot my own horn and call attention to myself (pause here
for the expected guffaws) I think my latest TOPE entry is probably a pretty
fair example of the full range of slide film, which I find more than adequate
in most situations, particularly if exposed correctly.

The original, of course, shows even more detail in both shadow and highlight,
and if I had had the Minolta 5400 at the time I made the scan, with its 4.8
dynamic range, this might be more evident in this example. Also, reducing the
photo to a JPEG size to meet TOPE requirements didn't help either.
