Well then use a 16bit printer like say an epson r3800 or newer. OR take your file to a lab and have them make a dichromic print. A raw camera file is a larger color gamut them most film. Its only when you use Jpeg that they are shrunk down to sRGB or adobe rgb. My Leaf backs in raw camera space all have more GAMUT then film and I get a little more then 12 stops of exposure. So 6 stops of latitude. Thats 2 stops greater then any chrome film made ever. (neg films like ektar get about 15 stops) but guess what I can do? I can do an hdri and then when properly and not gimmicky put together gets nearly a 10000:1 ratio that instead of compressing information like the zone system does actually has ALL that information as detail this file is 32bit FLOATING POINT which means it has instead of 256 or 65xxx over a billion colors.

Film can record more colors than most DSLRs but I doubt you can see the
colors once they are converted and viewed on a monitor which is limited to sRGB
and AD98 colors. It been reported that wide spaces like Procolor have to worked
in 16 bit to avoid banding. Don't know what happens when the picture is
converted to 8 bits for printing.
