It is a mystery why technicolor chose to do this. They just dont use 0-16 or 0-17 of the 0-255 available values. Jorgen, what you are saying makes sense, though it is not 10% off at both sides.
Nevertheless, the Marvels Cine Style picture profile for Canon DSLR cameras can be downloaded here: Marvels Film (Martin Beek, and others) have not commented on this and my opinion reflected here is my own and not that of Marvels Film.
You can make the Marvels profile as flat as the Technicolor profile by altering it’s curve, dialing the contrast setting further down. With the Marvels profile 3.4 you use all available digital space. Warning to all users of the Technicolor Cinema-style flat-profile! Using the Technicolor style will severely limit your dynamic range! Blacks are lifted and whites are limited! With only 255 values between black and white for each color, snooping 10% off at both sides is simple “DR theft”! You remove another 10% of DR when using the Technicolor LUT (via LutBuddy) that’s probably two stops total! It’s curve suspiciously follows our Marvels Cine Style, with the blacks dialed up (limited!) and the whites dialed down (limited too!).
TECHNICOLOR CINESTYLE LUT PREMIERE SOFTWARE
I really am a modest guy and you’d hardly hear me bashing other software developers, but this whole Technicolor style is actually sad. The “Marvels Cine Style” profiles i’ve developed the past years are much more advanced, better balanced and actually delivering more dynamic range. I do like the Canons for sure.I know it might sound childish or even presumptuous, but i feel pretty uncomfortable by this whole Technicolor hype. I know some people don't like them but I LOVE them for the creative possibilities. If this one has a flip out LCD that would go a long way for me on the Canon side. The 40 frame per second burst mode (4mb only) is a great added feature for photos and the live view on both the LCD and the Optical Viewfinder are my favorite way of adjusting exposure (of course this is the first camera I got out of "auto" mode on so I learned this and the GH1). The flip out LCD makes it immediately video friendly out in the field and the compact size is a pleasure to use as an all around camera (especially with the 20mm pancake lens that is easy to leave on the camera). The number one thing I LOVE about the GH2 as opposed to the Canons I've used (7D and 5D Mark II) is the usability out of the box. I can also use Nikkons and Canon FDs as well as many others. I've already played with C-mount, M42, Canon EF and Pentax K lenses. The lack of a mirror box and the plentiful lens adapters opens the possibilities up quite a bit. The only thing I would add is that there are actually a TON of lens choices with the Panasonics (maybe more?). Even if articles such as these have made me take Reid with a grain of salt on most issues he is still the authority on all the crazy weirdness of Anamorphic lenses available to the HDSLR and large chip video community. He needs to learn a bit on post production, though I do appreciate his preview of the Cinestyle next to the GH2. These videos just show me that I wouldn't want Andrew to be my colorist since all the "graded" shots are flatter than the origional raw footage, they lack any contrast or saturation. They totally have sadly turned an otherwise informative website a bit of a joke, it's sad to see someone convince himself that what he bought is the best at the sake of his credibility. There are too many "DSLRs are still totally important and better then everything" style articles. I've been following for a while now and I do feel that it's content has slipped over the last 6 months to a year, whenever the AF-100 was announced.
