Has anyone tried improving tonality by printing a deliberately overexposed negative onto very soft paper (or 00 filter on VC)? This would place the negative image wholly onto the straight-line portion of the film curve and exploit the benign curve of soft paper. Ingmar Bergman's cinematographer Sven Nykvist is said to have used this method. The release prints of Bergman's films were made directly from the camera negatives and were exquisite examples of B&W technique.
