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:
I am pretty sure this is a Sigma lens (based on the identical physical design, with minor differences in the rubber grip design...and the bright green lens identification lettering). This is only my second test with the LUMIX S9, and I must say these results are really good, especially for a lens that is not well spoken of, thanks to people judging the lens by the reviews people wrote a long time ago, when the lens was used mostly on film cameras.
The goal of our camera settings is to improve what we call the "lens-sensor relationship" by adjusting the contrast, sharpness, noise reduction and color to create an image that looks less digital and more organic (more like film, etc). Therefore, the first step is to apply the custom settings while shooting, and the second is to add a lens-sensor LUT, to finalize the image.
