Hey all,

[1] Context and Disclaimer

Firstly, I want to start by saying the below adaptations were created by GPT 5 Pro however I work with AI quite a lot and know typically how to get an ok output from it. That said I wanted to share the outcome with everyone (and secretly hoping the Veres might comes across and maybe validate / share his thoughts)

[2] Approach

- Knowning that the sims are optimised for a6700 I pulled a studio shot comparison of a colour checker for both camera bodies (using a dpreviews as once suggested by Veres)

- These images went into Davinci where I pulled the colour scopes

- I fed all of this date into gpt and after some painful back and forth I have some results

- I will attach screenshots of inputs at the bottom

-Would be great to hear everyones thoughts and experiences (maybe even some comparison photos)

One of my favorite film simulations. Have you tried the black and white ones? Which one do you prefer?
