Okay, great, went ahead and got the LUTs.. so far, so good! Are you finding the .FC LUTs a better starting point than the .CN LUTs?

Yes Totally agree...with everything actually, its totally the case that any film processing plugin such as FilmConvert adds grain and noise.
Its a funny old world, we like certain noise , but dislike other types, guitar stuff is like that too...certain types of distortion are favorable and sought after and debated endlessly ...other types are a no no
and there is often a fine line between them...and no one seems to really agree what that line is.
There are parallels in so many ways take distortion out of elec guitar and also total recordings (Audio mastering plugins introduce noise to emulate analogue tape) but take the noise and distortion out and people cry "clinical"
put in a little too much and they cry "mushy...noisy etc..".
Very similar to cameras in so many ways, except in digital vs analogue, noise vs clean etc...in audio, the argument is much older, so you dont hear it as much these days LOL!!)
BTW The skin tones look REALLY GREAT in this cap to me, nice and realistic, but also complimentary and pleasant to look at, a really nice look, very professional yet with an organic feel.

In the case of the screen grab I posted earlier I used Fuji Superior 200_FC LUT. To be honest what I use is based on the footage and how it was originally lit.

Although I agree that real world matters more.. I was trying to illustrate the amount of base noise being added by raising the Master Pedestal vs not.

Well if you hand off your work to an editor I would just stick with 16-235. I've not had issues with 0-255. It seems to help with highlights a little.
