REAL RATINGS
After testing each lens-sensor combo, I like to know if the rendering is going to look realistic SOOC (Straight Out of Camera) or if it will need a LUT (to match the shots to other lenses and cameras).

*Click here to learn more about "REAL" Ratings. These ratings are AFTER my custom settings are applied (most combos don't look real good with default settings).
NOTES:
It needs a LUT, but the results (before making the LUT) are so bad in so many ways, I'm not sure this lens is even worth using. It might be surprising to some for me to say that part of the problem (not all) is this lens has too much SHARPNESS for this sensor (GH5)...but it doesn't stop there (there are lots of ugly things about this lens, such as ugly, ugly bokeh/background blur and other weird optical expressions).
My goal for these camera settings is to improve the "lens-sensor relationship" by adjusting the contrast, sharpness, noise reduction and color with the result that it produces an image that looks less "digital" and more "organic" (more like film, etc). The first step is to apply these settings while shooting (produces an image that looks pretty good straight out of camera) but keep in mind there may need to be slight color grading (or a LUT) applied to finalize each shot.
