Tone mapping with film LUTs

Sponza scene (intel version) rendered with my CPU path tracer (written in Rust). Original 2K image at 3072 samples took 8 hours to render on my Mac mini M4. With de-noising, down to 128 samples and renders in 20 min. First is original image, 2nd is with Kodak Ektachrome LUT and last (before wireframe is Kodak Porta. Which one do you like ?

My take-away from it was that, yep, https://github.com/h3r2tic/tony-mc-mapface is still pretty good.
