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).

So far, this lens is not able to render a "REAL" looking image, because it has too much contrast, the color is weird, and when compensating for these things, the image becomes too soft...and is STILL too contrasty. In the future I may test this again with some sort of a filter (maybe a Tiffen GlimmerGlass?) but for now, this lens is going to look a bit off, but it's interesting if you don't mind that.
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.
