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:
So far, this lens is not able to render a "REAL" looking image, because it has too much contrast, the color is weird, and when compensating for these things, the image becomes too soft...and is STILL too contrasty. In the future I may test this again with some sort of a filter (maybe a Tiffen GlimmerGlass?) but for now, this lens is going to look a bit off, but it's interesting if you don't mind that.
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.
