Response to Silver Rich Film (and Paper)

It is my understanding that the amount of silver is not an indication, either with film or paper, of the emulsion's ability to render an image. TMax films can show detail from deep shadows to brightest highlights. So much that the paper can't print it all and it is not a 'silver rich' formula. Some films have two layers of silver on them, one finer than the other. With film now sharper, faster, finer grained than ever, it is more than just the silver content that determines the image characteristics.
