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).

NOTES:
Stills were taken from video at:
6K, 30p, 4:2:0, 10-bit, LongGOP, LPCM, 200Mbps
This was my first lens test with the Panasonic LUMIX S9, and so I'm still trying to figure out the best way to do these tests (this was done WITHOUT the real-time LUT function, so I may do another test starting with the RAW still image, then make the LUT, then figure out the remainder of the settings...not sure what the workflow is going to be, yet).
I think I should test again, with -1 SHARPNESS.
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.
