Love it.
This enhance greatly the lighting process as it is non destructive and it allows you to preview a "look" right into the lighting phase.
My only gripe is that the small preview window shows quite a different gamma from the final image and sometimes even a different color, depending on which film response LUT you apply.
The standard maxwell response does differ from the final image but it is minimal I guess we all get used to judge accordingly, but using the previews to judge response LUT's can throw you off quite a big deal.

I do have a question about the whole concept of film response: old film stock used to be tailored either for tungsten or daylight, and I assume that a "T" after the film stock name it implies "Tungsten": Am I right?
Or maybe it does not matter as the old "color timing" technique can be simulated in Maxwell using the "White Point" parameter (based on Kelvin value), so I can use any Film Response and tune it for either interiors or exteriors. That's really cool.
BTW back in the days I loved using KodakChrome film and of course that's the one causing me the most trouble. :)
