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:
This is going to need a LUT (does not look REAL SOOC) but these CUSTOM SETTINGS bring it to a good starting point (without these settings, this lens-sensor combination isn't rendering a realistic image). I just finished testing this lens on the LUMIX G85 (and the settings for SOOC were GREAT) so it is always interesting to realize it is the COMBINATION of BOTH the LENS AND SENSOR!
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.
