I gave this lens a REALLY high REAL Rating in all areas except COLOR (because it produces a slight GREEN tint with this sensor at normal white balance settings) but with these custom settings there isn't much else wrong with it (so it's a pretty good lens AND it's super affordable on the used market). While I initially made a LUT for this lens-sensor combo (that made only SLIGHT changes to the image) I removed it from the website because these settings work pretty well SOOC (Straight Out of Camera) and I didn't want someone to pay money for the LUT and then see how little the LUT changes the image.

This is a very sharp lens, and even on the G7 (which still had the optical low-pass filter over the sensor) it is too sharp! So, using the DEFAULT settings results not only in too much SHARPNESS, but this also increases the CONTRAST...so I needed to turn down a number of things to get the image to look "REAL". Also note the CUSTOM settings will allow you to expose darker (it works in less light) but I'm still testing these settings (in various lighting conditions) so I may update them in the future.

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.
