REAL RATINGS
After testing each lens-sensor combo, I like to know if the rendering is going to look realistic (or not) as this will affect how easy it is to "shot match" (to other lenses).

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.
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.
