FWIW, analog film doesn't clip in the same way as digital, but instead has a nonlinear roll-of on either end of the brightness scale. Still there is a limit to the maximum contrast, of course. If you're interested, try Tri-X for BW and Fuji Velvia 50 for color. Any late 70s Nikon will do well as a camera, the old 50mm f1.4 is particularly good and cheap. Tri-X is best developed yourself, but the Velvia needs sending to a lab that specializes in positive film development.
