Rawalanche was so kind to release his scene used for the Corona A4 benchmark in original .max format. It is a small, nice example of complete scene, ready to render with Corona.
You can download it here: https://download.corona-renderer.com/sample_scene.zip. You will notice that the render settings are left to defaults except for exposure, as there is really no need to change anything to get nice renders ;).
NOTE: since the settings, lighting, and materials are slightly different between this scene and the one featured in the A4 benchmark scene, there is no point in comparing the results or rendering performance directly between the A4 benchmark and this scene.

Thanks for shared scene!
I’ve done a test render and noticed that picture rendered with alpha7 (100 passes) is more noisy compare to the picture I’ve got from Corona Alpha4 benchmark scene. A7 did same 100 passes a bit faster. I’ve tried to render it with the same time as Alpha4 benchmark rendered 100 passes, but the picture is still more noisy. Should it be so?
Are you comparing to the benchmark (standalone corona)? Because not everything can be exported to the standalone, so the scenes can differ. The benchmark was also more optimized (for example portals were given higher sampling weight). This is not done by default so it is robust (and the A7 version uses defaults to demonstrate the point that you DONT need to change any settings ;)).
