Hi,
can I somewhere access the settings of the new Realistic Lenses to change them to my likings?
Customize new Realistic Lenses?

There was a closely related topic posted with more details in the replies.
As the new "lens camera type" features ray-tracing implementations of existing (real) lens optical design models, identically to the in-reality, "optical customization" is unavailable besides expected lens controls (aperture which in Octane is simply DoF/(Link CoC)/Bokeh, focusing).
*Although some rare photographic lenses offer "live tweaks" through barrels or front element swapping but that's drifting away from this topic.

This is a still from the video available on the suggested link. Modern to "vintage" lenses are achievable with solely the Universal Camera.
Furthermore, 2024.1 introduced a new camera designated as "Photographic lenses", the look-controls are near non-existant since it is a hardcoded simplified implementation of real lens optical design / models (the list contains the names).
Project files and assets on the website will be made available for download once updated.
