What you're doing does not mean that digital has 15 stops of latitude. You are combining several exposures to give an effective range of fifteen stops. A big difference. Plus, the technique is practically worthless for many types of photography, such as when there's subject movement, like in a portrait where the subject's facial expression may change slightly with each exposure, or while photographing sports, or "street photography," or ... well, I'll let the reader fill in the blanks. At least you qualified your comment somewhat <LOL>
And, let's see, we'll add manipulation in Photoshop using Shadows/Highlights, clever use of curves and image multiplication with layers, shit, digital will give you 50 stops of latitude, at least!
