Today is my first Fx9 indoor test.
FS7 Metabones speedboster Tamron 45, Fx9 Metabones Tamron 35, A7RIII Zeiss batis 25. All camera are WB 4300K preset.
i tried Fx9 4K FF, S35, CineEI and S-Cinetone.

If someone is interrested, i could upload FX9 original 4K Mxf files on my server.

Rudo, I think these tests generally show very good matching but i wonder whether you might be tricking yourself because the shots have such a limited pallette. When i did my tests I hung a bunch of large saturated colored materials ( shirts and bath towels) in different colors so I could see if all those colors would match . Often a couple of those colors would shift even though I got the rest of them right. I could see discrepancies with those large color blocks that I totally missed in color charts and especially the chart you're using its very hard to see the colors. I've been meaning to post my tests for a couple months but got very busy with other stuff though - so I don't feel like I have much right to complain though. How complex was the grading you did to get your matches?

Lenny, you are right it could be better to have big color palette to see how color can shift. My first interest is to test original CineEi mxf Fx9's files and see how grade them with my luts compare to fs7 cineEI 1 over exposed. I rent Fx9 only for two days and next step will to compare fx9 sensibility base 4000 in low light condition.
I did the grading very quickly, i just noticed: Fs7 is warm in low black level (red - magenta in shadow level) and less satured compare to a7r3 and fx9.
I do nothing on A7R3 who appears to match easily with Fx9 (not warm in shadow level) and less saturation on Fx9.
I could do far better match with 3dlutcreator but i prefered test quick and simple grading in Premiere Pro.
Not a big fan of s-cinetone who is too realist for me.

i will test with more colors this afternoon. good idea.

efffectively i have some colors to adjuste (red and orange) but nothing too long (hue and saturation)
i Found with my luts (based on kojicolor) than Fs7 have more correct color (rouge shift litle orange side on Fx9) than Fx9 and A7R3 who seem's more similar.
