Cos they look real
Why though? Because I bet any answer given can be replicated in sensor tech.

It would just mean doing a post production trick in the sensor... Is there any point?

As opposed to tricking the sensor/film with another piece of glass? I'm confused... What's the point in that?

Currently one works and looks pretty natural as the eye sees a scene, one doesn't
I await further developments

Is subtle HDR really that bad?Currently one works and looks pretty natural as the eye sees a scene, one doesn't

No, but it rarely seems to be used subtlety on landscapes
I think it's a decent tool for interiors

Dynamic range on digital cameras is improving all the time ye bells. IMO grads will be obsolete in a decade. As will HDR.

I have a 12 stop range digital back and filters are far from obsolete

Never said they were, case in point is my 6d is 11 ev, and my 7d was closer to 10 ev.
Mirrorless can do better then 12 iirc. Some film can do 16, rods and cones can do 22.
A dual sensor camera could do 22 ev. We might never see that in an slr though.

Ok , I have a 12 stop digital back and grads are far from obsolete
The info might be there, but you still struggle to pull it out and make it look natural in post processing
I predict a new wave of shite of people doing this badly , from high ev sensors

Dual sensor, I'm telling ye. Just like rods and cones. One for bright one for dark. And a brain to produce the final image.

The last bit is the tricky one
People will want an auto function that does it, or it would be done in camera. I predict now that everything will have a vague HDR feel to it
Might be interesting to note that many of the most beautiful landscape photos have been created with velvia 50
An ev range of between 4 and 5
Maybe there's an argument there that ev range matters not one jot...
I certainly don't see any obvious benefits of the phase one over velvia in terms of ev range

With iris adaption. Only about 10ev simultaneous.
I am a fan of HDR done subtly, but like long exposure it will always be a camera trick IMHO.

Probably the future of everything
They could make flexible sensor that detect the lens and curve to get rid of lens distortion!
Interesting if they've managed to make a sheet of it. I guess it's fine if it can be stuck to something, I don't think they can make a sheet on its own yet

wasn't there some recent work that proved it to be inherently unstable? like luddite film based landscape photographers?

you abandoned film altogether? genuine question.. why switch? difficult to get hold of the film, getting the gear developed?

With film costing me 3-4k a year and increasing it was heading to a tipping point where the investment in the digi gear was good value and capable of producing the right quality result
That point arrived
There's still some things I'd do with film. If it cost nowt I'd still use it
