I think exposure latitude means to some people the error factor in taking a
photo. Whereas you can make a 1 1/2 stop error with slide film or a 3 1/2
stop error in negative film (I don't believe either), you can still get a
recognizable picture of granny with the kids under the tree or with the
turkey (apologies to non-Thanksgiving celebraters).
The latitude of the film (density range) itself is a different matter.
Quoting again from Hamrick/Vuescan: "Slide film maps a density range of 0:2.7
to an intensity range of 1:500, but negative film maps a smaller density
range of 0:2.4 to a larger intensity range of 1:4000."
