DP2 50 ISO

How do DP2 shooters (not DP2s, DP2x, DP2 Merrill, dp2 Quattro) like the extended 50 ISO, the red curve?

Looks like (surprise) it looses some highlight headroom and gains some shadow response ...

... almost like shooting 100 ISO with positive EC ...

Assuming that DP2s and DP2x also have extended 50 ISO.

One thing noticeable about the red curve is the linearity going up to sRGB saturation at 255 on the X scale. It's slope is about the same as the mid-tones meaning a significantly higher contrast in e.g. clouds compared to all the other curves, On the other hand, the slope at the low end is almost flat and the other curves give more contrast at their low ends ...

I would be glad to explain my view of contrast as it related to the curve.
