Hello to all.
There's no "optical" reason why 16-bits is desirable over 15 or 17. It's
computers that force the jump from 8 to the next step which for binary
computers is 16 bits.
I don't believe anyone here would assess that there's a relevant difference
between 15 and 16 bits in the real and in the way-beyond real world.
My two cents.

While this "limitation" has apparently given a huge advantage with the
speed of the math, who knows if this speed increase will be important 3 or
5 or 10 years from now. I believe Phase One digital backs are
true16-bit/channel, as well as many scanning backs and even the Imacon
scanners. In the old days, we used Indexed Color... then were thrilled
with 8-bit/channel. Time will tell.
