I think this could benefit from some kind of diffusion filter (test to come later) but for now it looks acceptable. The "REAL" ratings are going to be pretty low, but I think it's the best I can get it for now...

Strange, super sharp lens, but it also has a strong bias toward making the shadow regions stay dark (my final, corrected settings even include a -0+4 Highlight Shadow correction, something I have never done before. I will need to create a LUT to finish these settings, and I'm not looking forward to it, due to the complexity its issues)!

I NEED TO TEST MORE (and I really need to be using a Pixco speed booster on Micro Four Thirds, because it's only an F/1.8) I was hoping this lens would share the settings of the Vivitar 135 2.8 M42 (that was in the camera case with it when I bought) but it doesn't (I may go with using Highlight Shadow adjustments because the CONTRAST is still too great, and the COLOR is not accurate).

REALLY needs a LUT to fine tune the image further. I think these SETTINGS are a good starting point, but it's going to need more contrast and less color to look "REAL" and the only clean way to do that is by adding a LUT (Coming Soon!)

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.
