Leica dng conversion in Hasselblad Phocus

Hi,
I just realized that it is possible to convert Leica DNG in Hasselblad Focus software.
The first images I looked look pretty good (I compared with lightroom).
Anybody else doing this or wants to share experience?

I've done it, didn't see much difference between what Phocus does and what LR Classic does. Since LR Classic is still my main image processing, finish-rendering workflow, I haven't gone any farther with it as yet.

LR is also my main software, c1 and phocus is installed but I am not that good at it. However I feel LR doesnt completely satisfy me with SL2 DNG conversion, specially skin tones.

IMO, it does not make sense to convert to DNG in Phocus as you do not get any advantage of the Phocus engine. You are better off using the free Adobe DNG Converter or LrC.
It would be nice if Phocus could generate a linear DNG as DxO PhotoLabs 4 does.

Why would you convert to DNG in Phocus? I believe what Paratom is doing is raw conversion on Leica SL2 DNG files with Phocus.

When I use Phocus to process my Hasselblad 3FR files, I output TIFF files for finish rendering and image management in LR Classic. There's no point to it otherwise, for me.

My bad, I misunderstood Paratom's post. I wish that I could export to linear DNG instead of TIFF for further processing.
