Sigma 17-50 2.8 (Panasonic G7) CINELIKE D -0-0-0-0 vs. -4-5+5+1 SHADOW +3

TITLE: Sigma 17-50 2.8 (Panasonic G7) CINELIKE D -0-0-0-0 vs. -4-5+5+1 SHADOW +3

UPDATE:
A number of my early uploads to YouTube such as this one needed more color saturation (because the YouTube compression reduces the color a little). So, while I do recommend these CUSTOM SETTINGS, I recommend boosting the color a bit (before uploading to YouTube).

OVERVIEW:
This lens-sensor combination was difficult to work with because the contrast and sharpness of the lens is so strong (and the sharpness isn't very even in terms of smooth gradation from highlight to shadow noticeable in detailed areas). So, I had to be quite dramatic with the settings I chose, and resorted to using a +3 SHADOW (under Highlight Shadow) which I don't normally like doing. Overall, I don't really like the result because my goal is almost always to render a real-looking image, and I think this lens-sensor combination falls short in this area.
