Better LUT for good skin tones - for Odyssey 7Q+ & FS700 ?

[fatman]

I've spent the better part of the last day and a half trying to make my own colour accurate LUT.
My only goal was to try and match the 7Q screen to what I saw with my own eyes in real life.

Using LUTcalc and the xrite colorchecker passport, I got pretty darn close I think.
Cyan was the trickiest, but red's look like reds and blue's don't look like turquoise anymore which was my main goal.

Here's the untouched Prores Slog2 for comparison

Here's the Convergent Design LUT:
SONY_EE_SL2_L709A-2

And below is the LUT I've developed:
Ky_Fs700_SL2_Rec709_v1.57_-2

And to put it into perspective here's a photo taken with a Sony A7rii.
This is a useful comparison as picture profiles were disabled (Just standard JPG)
It represents what I saw with my eyes fairly closely.

Let me know if you find it useful or not or if you have any suggestions.
I'm just a dabbler with LUTS, not an expert!

The zip contains a regular exposure, a -1 and a -2 for those of you like me who like to expose to the right.
I've also converted them for use on the 7Q via the CD LUT converter utility as well.

I had to give a shout out ...I downloaded your LUT's a while ago but only used for the first time today and only with very minor tweaking using a fee LUT applier in fcpx I got very impressive results. So a big thank you. It's nice to not always use film-convert and to get different looks and of all the LUT's I've tried, yours I like the best! Kudos!

Found some free LUTs that are my new go-tos for a starting grade for SLOG2 from both my FS700 and my A6300. They are Alister's "Arri-like for A7S" found in the LUT pack here: http://www.xdcam-user.com/2016/05/using-s-log2-and-s-log3-with-the-sony-a6300-with-luts-to-download/

It comes in exposure compensation options and to me it is more colour-accurate than the Convergent Design stock LUTs.
