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).
CONTRAST
IS THE CONTRAST "REAL"?
SHARPNESS
IS THE SHARPNESS "REAL"?
NOISE
IS THE NOISE "REAL"?
COLOR
IS THE COLOR "REAL"?

(I will be doing 2 different tests here: One for sports action (stills) for printing to an 8x10 printer, and the second is my normal test for video purposes...starting to test now.)
PHOTO Settings:
(More SHARPNESS is needed the printing process reduces the apparent sharpness due to the substrate, inks, etc.)
TEST #1 = NATURAL -0+2+3-1 HS -2+2 (Needs more SHARPNESS, more NR, more COLOR)
TEST #2 = NATURAL -0+4+5-0 HS -2+2 (Not sure yet)
TEST #3 = NATURAL +4+5+4+1 HS -2+3
TEST #4 = NATURAL +4+4+4-1 HS -2+3 (FINAL)
VIDEO Settings:
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.
