- Nikon 18-70 Panasonic G7 NATURAL
This is a decent lens-sensor combo, but the propensity of this sensor to oversaturate color (in combination with a lens that's not super balanced or accurate to begin with) makes color accuracy a difficult task, which makes it tough to match other lenses/sensors to.

- Tamron 10-24 3.5-4.5 LD Panasonic G85 NATURAL
There is not much SHARPNESS in this lens to start with, so on this sensor I have to add some in the settings, and it will certainly need some post-production SHARPNESS added as well. It will also need more COLOR, but after working with this a bit I think it is at what I consider a good place for footage you are capturing to start (though I prefer settings be so good they can be used SOOC, of course). I started out with custom settings that had a little bit too much COLOR, but I had to tone it down as it is a strange lens to find a good place to set the COLOR settings to, as the COLOR is not very accurate (which makes even the white balance hard to figure out).

- AUTO Mamiya-Sekor 55 1.4 Panasonic G7 NATURAL
It's amazing that this lens-sensor combination is almost useable at -0-0-0-0 (default settings) but I worked with the settings further because it has a strange problem of rendering a lot of colorless black in the mid to shadow areas (I know, it seems like it would just be the shadows). I'm not completely happy with these settings, and I don't know if this lens is something I'd recommend. (It also has a sharp aperture coupler that has almost cut my hand a few times).

- Koah 35 1.2 Panasonic GH5 NATURAL
NOTE: Use -1 HUE. So...you COULD use the same exact settings as the Koah 50 1.4 (same company/manufacturer, etc.) and it is almost perfect, and I would do that if you need to change lenses, and are in a hurry (I might actually make a LUT that can be used for BOTH). However, to get the very best SOOC settings, I am adding a little more NOISE REDUCTION to the in-camera settings for the 35 1.2 version. This lens is one of the best f/1.2 lenses I've tested by the way...though every lens I have tested has been a low-budget lens, so that's not saying much (the others were a Canon FL 58 1.2, and a Porst 50 1.2).

- Vivitar Series 1 70-300 4.5-5.6 Panasonic G85 NATURAL
Okay, this lens is good. Now, to be sure you have the right lens (when you use these settings) the version I tested was the WHITE version (well, off-white because the lens is old) but the exterior is white with black rubber areas (focus and zoom rings). So then, let me continue by saying WOW, it's a pretty good lens! I was actually not expecting much, because I had just finished testing another budget white lens from this same vintage (a 1990s 100-400 from Promaster) which was not good. As a side note, there seem to be a lot of good lenses in the 70-300 focal length range, but every vintage 100-300 and 100-400 has been REALLY bad. I've heard the Panasonic 100-400 (by Leica) is really good (not affordable enough for me to test at this time) and the footage I've seen from the Panasonic 100-300 looks good too...but for the older lenses, I only trust the 70-300 focal length now (but only from the early AF generation/80s & 90s and on, but not older).
