I also noticed that not only the bluray, but also the WOWOW suffers from the effects of DNR, although to a lesser extend. Here’s an example of such a frame. The difference in detail between the bluray and the WOWOW is especially apparent, if I regrade the bluray to match the colors of the WOWOW.

Note that both the WOWOW and the bluray have less detail than the 35mm, despite the higher contrast in the brighter areas of the WOWOW, compared to the 35mm. As such, the regrade will have less detail than the 35mm for such frames, but more detail than the bluray.
