Johnanother version of this one; for some reason?? the raw file was about 29meg compared to around 24 meg for the others; had to reduce it's size a bit more to fit the forum.
i am also finding my images come into flexcolor at temp 5500, tint of 10, but need to be set to 4750 and tint 30 virtually in every case (outdoor shots). I have the back set to daylight.
My new CFV-II shoots at about 5700, tint 4 ... and eye-droppering the whites to my taste takes it to about 4900, -8 tint.John
I use the same color temp but found that I got the most accurate overall color using a tint of between 43 and 55. I built several presets around these values for use in Phocus. So far the results have been really nice. But out of the back the yellow bias is very prevalent thus the need for additional magenta.

I would never argue with the master but that is so far from my experience (and apparently JLM's) that it is hard to reconcile.My new CFV-II shoots at about 5700, tint 4 ... and eye-droppering the whites to my taste takes it to about 4900, -8 tint.
Woody, that was shooting the CFV-II yesterday as I set up for for a commercial job in studio with my white plex backdrop using Profoto strobes ... which is pretty consistent color temp and a good evaluation of the capture. The plex does have a slight cast to it, so I really need to use a grey card in frame to nail the temp and tint exactly.I would never argue with the master but that is so far from my experience (and apparently JLM's) that it is hard to reconcile.

I get you Marc. The CFV II may be different from the CFV I in that regard. My out of camera files from the CFV I are distinctly yellow and Son reported the same. So at least there is consistency and i could imagine there being a tint difference from Flex as opposed to Phocus.Woody, that was shooting the CFV-II yesterday as I set up for for a commercial job in studio with my white plex backdrop using Profoto strobes ... which is pretty consistent color temp and a good evaluation of the capture.

johndoes flex or phocus allow the use of profiles for the camera, like C1 does? if so, it might be worth making one up. anyone try this?
...I know several people made them for the M8 in C1.
