I believe transparency film does not, but some negative film does.
Either way, films do vary as do digital cameras. In any event, I wouldn't suggest switching to film. I recently went back to it and I would cast my lot with digital.
Anyway, I have a reverse graduated neutral density filter that works charms in this situation. They come in different strengths and it takes a lot to knock out the sun.

Probably the worst instructional video I have seen yet...And he deleted the first six because they "sucked".

With respect to the film v. digital comparisons of dynamic range:
Human eye 20 EVs
Black & White film: 14 EVs
Digital 11.5 EVs
Color Neg: 10 EVs
Color Transparency: 6 EVs
The only way to truly see the difference is to make prints of the same scene using the various films & digital. Film simply does a better job handling highlights. There are so many other advantages of digital-- that switching to film, frankly, isn't warranted, in most situations.
Individual film grains contain gradient tones; individual pixels contain a single tone. Of course digital is improving and who knows what the future holds.
For most applications, digital is the choice.

I agree, I fast forwarded, watched the relevent part, then switched off. The part I watched was useful.
