Hi guys, loving the channel, I’ve been binge watching your videos and really learning a lot! I noticed that Peter was missing having an orange channel in Capture One, if he’s still using the program one tip is to use the Colour Editor, under the basic tab, there is an orange slider there which he could use (adjusting lightness seems to approximate to colour sensitivity). You can fine tune the colour range which contributes to ‘orange’ using the three dots to the right of the colour palette. It might help… or not! All the best, Dave.

Thanks David Lou, no I'm not missing the orange channel are missing the red green blue channel that Hasselblad's Phocus software has.

Tried replicating your shoot using my 70-200 f/2.8 GM (and a Sony a7Riii), but couldn't get the AF Eye to work, unless I got at least 8 feet (2.43 meters) from the model. Aperature, iso, lighting didn't seem to matter. Am I doing something wrong? Something wrong with my settings/menus, or is this the limit of AF with this lens? Sony says min. focusing distrance: 3.15 feet, presumably on manual.
