My workflow today is LR4 and then Photoshop. But now I´m looking into medium format and Hasselblad. If I go for a Hasselblad, should I change to Phocus or is LR4 as good?

Phocus vs LR4

I have now processed some images in LR4 and Phocus. Absolutely no hesitation in witch RAW converter does the best job with the Hasselblad files. Phocus is the one to use!
Sadly I miss some function from LR4 and Phocus is not stabile. My MacBook Pro has crashed three times when I´m using Phocus and before Phocus I´ve never experienced any crash with my MB Pro since I got it two years ago. Also my Mac wouldn't start the Phocus program since it was not approved of app store. I had to change security settings in computer to make it work.

Indeed. Best results are almost always had with the manufacturer's software, especially in medium format where an enormous amount of effort goes into making the sensors sing their best (as the market for the backs is very picky about image quality).
Have you played around with C1 (for Phase/Leaf - or Canon/Nikon) at all?

Doug, I tried the C1 version 5 couple of years ago processing Nikon files. I thought it did a better job then Camera Raw, but the workflow was not for me. I have not looked at the new C1, does it work well with Hassy files?
Maybe it's time to find a new workflow?
