Now that winter is approaching and the sun is setting earlier and earlier, I wish I had faster lenses for my 907x. I often have to use relatively slow shutter speeds with relatively high ISOs of 3200-6400.
Speaking of high ISOs..

I'm more and more convinced that one has to deeply understand by trial and error how to edit Hasseblad files in order to unlock the full potential of them. My philosophy is to edit RAW, export JPG, discard RAW but gladly I have full system backups which include the RAW files too, and I can get back to old photos if I get the urge to re-edit them..
Thanks for this test, would it be possible to get the raw file for this shot? I'd like to test how Luminar handles this scene if possible.
I usually don't discard RAWs for this very reason of both my processing skills improving over time as well as the tech that allows it.
Sorry, unfortunately none of the photos from that day were worthy to be preserved. Gone for good.
(This got me thinking, maybe I should trigger the backups immediately after import, although Time Machine takes them every hour, but I can be done with the culling before that. That's exactly what happened here, but these weren't kind of shots that I would worry about..)
But this can be easily reproduced. Here's an example photo, taken with CFV100C with 75P using ISO6400.
Didn't touch any adjustment or setting in neither software. Just open file and export to JPG.
Phocus applies lens corrections, that's why the jpg's seem a little different.
Feel free to play with these
I just noticed that HNNR RAW files produced from the latest version on Phocus (v4.1) are looking different in Iridient than in Phocus. My preferred choice from these would be detail-prioritised HNNR exported from Phocus. For some reason, that looks worse in Iridient, almost as watercolorly as original un-edited RAW in Phocus..
thanks tommmi, i'll use these and compare the HNNRs variants and pure raw via bwcolor's recc
