This is more to do with your system gamma, it's important to use all the available latitude in camera then expand it compress it or change the gamma (effectively where your middle exposure point lies) after the fact. Digital camera outputs are pretty linear so if you don't like the look why not write an action that transforms the file to replicate the look of your favourite film?
