I thought that translated into more bits (since it's about 1 bit per zone). At any rate, it should be scanned in 16-bit color and then squashed into one color channel, but that was not practical, given the color corrections and ultimate file size target. Maybe there is a better way to express this. T400 has no shoulder for about 15 stops.
