This has not been my experience and Bruce Barnbaum states that you can record detail in a range of thirteen, or even slightly more, stops on film! See his article:"Photographic Myths: There are ten zones in the Zone System" published in the Sept/Oct 2000 issue of PHOTO Techniques. My one complaint with scanned negatives is that if it is not in the scan, it is just not there! Unlike a negative which can be coerced into giving more detail out of the highlights and shadows (depending on the neg) by careful printing techniques.
