P: Lens Profile requests and information

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.

It would be great to add the support for Canon EF 70-210mm f 3.5-4.5. Thank you very much for taking care of this project!

Please could a lens profile be added for:

NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR (Z mount)

My experience with chromatic abberation in Lightroom Classic for this lens is really poor, in comparison to the lens it replaced (Nikon 200-500mm F Mount). I have also compared the results from NX studio like for like with the same RAW file.  No issues in NX Studio. LRC makes the situation worse in some cases or introduces CA in other areas. If it *does* the remove the purple blue fringing, it will introduce pale orange fringing instead. CA is something that has not been an issue for years in LRC but with this lens, it's the worst part of the editing process.

@michaelw15371056: "a lens profile be added for: NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR (Z mount)"

 

In general, Camera Raw and Lightroom don't provide lens profiles for the Z lenses.

https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/supported-lenses.html 

 

Instead, they use the Nikon profiles embedded in the raws by the cameras.  You can see that in in the Lens Corrections panel when you enable profile corrections:

 

If you're seeing a difference between CR/LR and NX Studio, that suggests a problem with how CR/LR is interpreting the profile. I suggest you post a bug report:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-bugs/p-how-do-i-write-a-bug-report/idi-p/12386373

 

Include a sample raw and full-resolution JPEGs exported from that raw from both LR and NX Studio showing the problem. Upload the files to Wetransfer, Dropbox, Google Drive or similar free service and include the sharing link in your post. Adobe isn't likely to pay attention unless they can easily reproduce the problem.

Id love a lens profile for two lenses:

Volightlander 50mm f1.0 Nokton - Nikon Z mount (Zf &Z8)

Nikon 35-70mm f2.8 D - Nikon f mount (Df)

Both of these lenses have profiles available in DXO Raw 4!

If this is the proper place to put lens profile requests, it'd be nice if Adobe's "supported lenses" page directed here instead of just to the homepage for all forums. It would have prevented my request in another thread, where users scolded me for posting in the wrong place.

This indeed is the proper place to submit a lens-profile request.

 

@Rikk Flohr: Photography, the Working with lens profiles page should be updated with the correct URL for this thread. It currently refers to the very old Feedback forum:

https://feedback.photoshop.com/conversations/camera-raw-and-dng/camera-rawlightroom-lens-profile-requests-and-information/5f5f45a84b561a3d4258a112

I sent a request to documentation yesterday to review this. The landing page for the forum is now one level farther away from the correct link so there are likely several links to the forum from Help that need review.

I'm asking for Adobe to create a lens profile/correction for the Viltrox 85mm f/1.4 PRO (For Sony E-Mount) - This Lens is becoming very popular, I just bought it and realized Lightroom does not have a legit profile that recognizes it yet. There are 6 people i personally know that have this Lens, and many others online. Please @Adobe - Help create this for the Viltrox 85mm f/1.4 PRO (E-Mount) - Thank you - Nick
