Not sure why you'd want to lower dynamic range, which would be implied in the question. The point these days is to make cameras with the most dynamic range, at higher and higher ISOs, and adjust in post processing. The limiting factor is not the camera, but the other devices in the chain - after the camera, which typically has the most dynamic range - to the output medium - be it paper/metal/glass/canvas print, device display or projection.
I don't know, either, Gene … but it was pointed out to me in another thread, there are times when you might wish to COMPRESS Dynamic Range, rather than trying to EXPAND it - to achieve the MOST Range possible. So, I decided to post this one, to see how others reacted to the idea of infinite =/- variables …
