A bit of a breakthrough for me.

So what do think jambredz, really much different end result, or just a different formula to get there?

I think its just another tool in the shed I think . I'm sure i can get the same look using cinestyle with technicolour contrast and saturation formula. What I dont know if how the codec will react to it (maybe more or less noisy ?) I need to grade a Cinestyle dialed down and this Cinestyle shot under the same situation and grade both the same way. I'll shoot some footage tomorrow and grade them both. Cinestyle dialed down is more for when I dont know the look i'm going after in the end I think and need that DR. I do love how the colours pop in this setting though yet still give the DR that's needed. I may have a music video next week where i'll have alot of popping colours where this saturated cinestyle may come in handy but still give room for CC.

did some more testing....on skin tones outdoors. Over all i find cinestyle with saturation -4 and contrast 0 to be the best.
 
Here is an example of my results shooting Cinestyle 1,-3,+4,0 and then lowering black levels slightly in post using Fast Color Corrector in Premiere Pro. I really like this configuration for shooting daylight landscape so far.

Note ... I did not apply the LUT .. the whole point is to do as much in camera as possible rather than in post.
 
great footage froton.

question: i also have the tamron 17-50 non VC and was wondering was there any sharpening added in post? it looks so crisp and my t2i seems to never get that sharp
 
Thanks Richard,

There was no sharpening in post. I have found that it helps to shoot at f5.6 or higher to get the middle aperture benifits if possible. Getting exposure low enough without overexposing with harsh contrast helps too I thnk. It even seems to me that setting the contrast back or using a lower contrast preset helps too.
