[faint]

Hey, best of luck with moving out to a better office! Hope the new place is better in every possible aspect, not only price.

I have two questions: first being - why C1? While I use it as a primary tool for exporting RAW files, I don't find it very consistent. A bug or two may slip in (had one that directly affects image rendering), and it applies different default sharpening to each camera. Considering that LR is hit and miss with Fujifilm, and DxO Photolab does not work at all with XTrans files... Maybe the reason why LensTip people use dcraw, but if this is the engine behind RawTherapee, it's not perfect with XTrans either, but at least is consistent.

Second - should image resolution be measured before or after distortion correction is applied? While I'm very curious to see the impact, I wonder whether it makes sense to measure before distortion correction, because that's the actual optical resolution. The correction itself involves some software tricks which can vary across RAW converters, if the profile is available at all, so not exactly consistent.

My predictions:
Optical: 3
Mechanical: 4.5
Value: 3.5
