I understand this approach was practical in the days of SLR since technology wasn't what it is today. Those were the days we had to carve our mail into clay tablets but in this day and age it seems very stone-age.Even when it uses 18% gray, or 12 or whatever, it still has to calculate the individual differences of incoming light. That does imply it can distinguish else we'd end up with not so correct shots. When throwing the whole grey thing out, it should be able to perfectly calculate and represent the scene in front of us and that scene should match what we see since we do look through that lens too. We receive the same signals and once you digitally replicate that conversion, what is out there will always match what is in your shot.</blockquote>
