Lens Profiles apply to Camera Raw, Lightroom Classic, and the Lightroom Ecosystem products (Desktop, Mobile, and Web).

Lens Profiles are available for a wide array of lenses. Not every lens is currently profiled, and of those profiled, not all are profiled for all camera and file types. For example, there may be a profile for a particular lens and camera mount for the raw file but not for the JPEG. Normally, profiles for JPEG are not supplied unless the camera does not apply a correction (e.g. iPhone, GoPro).

A complete list of profiled lenses can be found here: https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/supported-lenses.html
other helpful info: https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/lens-profile-support.html#Supported_lenses

Lens correction for all Micro 4/3 (MFT) lenses and many newer cameras, including Panasonic and Olympus cameras, and other cameras (including Fuji X, Leica Q, and Nikon Z series)plus many point-and-shoot models from Canon) happens automatically without any interaction by the customer. A notation will appear in the Lens Correction Panel designating this.

Note: You should not expect to find any profiles listed in the pop-up notes, because the corrections are always applied.

If you are unsure whether your lens is supported automatically refer to the "info" button/icon on the Lens Corrections tab.

If your lens is not on the supported lens list and is not one of those whose correction happens automatically, you can create your own profiles using the Adobe Lens Profile Creator. Download the Adobe Lens Profile Creator: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/digital-negative.html#resources

If you desire an Adobe-created Lens Profile, please make your request in the comments of this thread. Be sure to include the full lens model/description and the camera mount you desire. ETAs for new lens profiles are not available.

Keep in mind that lens profiles cannot be made for tilt/shift lenses, and the tilt or shift settings cannot be recorded in the Exif data. A feature request exists here for Tilt-Shift Lens Profiles: https://community.adobe.com/t5/camera-raw-ideas/p-lens-profiles-for-tilt-shift-lens/idi-p/12221166

Note: The Lens Profile Creator is currently supported for Windows and 32-bit Versions of the Mac OS.

ETAs are not available for any lens request.

I would love to see the nikon z series lens supported here, the current update to light room is not accurate for the z series lens, specially the 24-70 2.8 and the 50 1.2. Thank you!

I am really angry to see that my upgrade from Lr 6 to LrC 11 was almost needless because there is NO single lens profile of a z series lens. I urgently need one for the 14-30 f4 and the 24-70 f4.

What's the point of supporting the Z9 case without supplying lens profiles?

Nikon Z series profiles should be embedded. If you look at your Lens Corrections panel does it show a Note at the bottom saying this?

hello, can anyone help. I have just purchased the Canon rf 14-35 f4 and I have heavy vignetting in the corners of all my images. I also cannot find a lens profile for this lens in either lightroom or camera raw.

Thank you

Hi Kev5F8A, as mentioned above, that is a new lens and the profile is not available for it yet.

You can create your own profile if you don't want to wait:

Please provide profiles for the Canon RF 14-35 f/4, Canon RF 70-200 f/4 and Canon 100 f/2.8 Macro.

It seems the support for Canon in the latest editions is lacking in lens profiles and color matching profiles. Us Canon photographers would appreciate some effort to add this support.

Thanks,

Tony

I would go as far as saying the RF 14-25 is unusable without correction for distortion and vignetting. The lens is clearly designed to be corrected in camera, to keep it as compact and light weight as it is.

Alas, RAW files don't have this correction and this needs to be done in post. Only DPP has that today, and it's awful.

Lightroom needs this profile ASAP. I'm hoping for the new version end of October.

I just bought samyang 24mm F3.5 ED AS UMC for Sony and I see that Lightroom doesn't have lens profile for correction.

since this lens is on market from 2015 I hope you can add it.

It is not possible to create profiles for tilt-shift lenses, because different parts of the image circle are used to create the image, depending on the tilt or shift setting. So a profile that is correct with tilt and shift set to zero would be invalidated once you tilt or shift the lens.

I have this lens myself, and have found that setting Distortion under LR's Lens corrections to around +3 to +5 works well in most cases for removing pincushion distortion in architectural shots.

Also see the last paragraphs of @Rikk Flohr: Photography 's post at the top of the page.

Is it possible to get a lens profile for a classic: M-mount Leitz Wetzlar Summicron-C 1:2 / 40mm? It's an original lens for the film Leica CL (and has been sitting in my closet for a few decades). It is virtually the same as the Minolta M_rokkor 40mm F/2.

If a new lens profile is not practical does anyone have a suggestion for a different that could be used as a reasonable substitute?

There are some more lens details at: https://lens-db.com/leitz-wetzlar-summicron-c-40mm-f2-1973/

Thanks - David
