Looking at the NEF (raw) file in Nikon Capture NX2 at default settings, I am
seeing the black patch at rgb 27, 27, 28 and the white at rgb 223, 225, 224.
(The working RGB space is Beta RGB). So the exposure seems reasonable to me; it
is the conversion to linear TIFF that is causing the big drop in lightness.
I notice that the patches show considerable surface texture (the samples above
used a 5x5 sample area to try and overcome this). A little defocussing might
help here.
