Could you elaborate on that? Since slide film has the greater density range than neg film, by your definition the only way it would have a lower dynamic range would be if it's "noise" were higher. What would constitute that noise? What has you say slide film has more noise than neg? Neg film has a flatter response curve than slide film, thus less contrast, and thus, the ability to contain a greater scenic luminosity range, but does low contrast in and of itself mean higher dynamic range? Taken to the extreme, low contrast holds few tones - the opposite of DR. So please explain what you base your assertion on.
