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).

After getting these settings figured out, the lens is rendering a pretty realistic image, yet I will need a LUT to increase the contrast a bit. This lens has a pretty decent close focus distance. The manual focusing ring is very thin, and while it's easy for me to use by hand, it may be too narrow for focus gears to be added.
My goal for these camera settings is to improve the "lens-sensor relationship" by adjusting the contrast, sharpness, noise reduction and color with the result that it produces an image that looks less "digital" and more "organic" (more like film, etc). The first step is to apply these settings while shooting (produces an image that looks pretty good straight out of camera) but keep in mind there may need to be slight color grading (or a LUT) applied to finalize each shot.
