Can u say "B-a-n-d-i-n-g"? When is this 16-235 stuff going to go away? I remember back in 1995 being limited in dynamic range with Media 100, exporting footage to my Cosa 2 (soon to be After Effects)

Can this possibly still be happening almost 18 years later when we are all work in 32 bit float with 4 and 5k images?

That's my rant for a Saturday.
