​@Berthold26270905fsh8 I just find it odd, that the other lens I use (by Nikon) is displayed in LR, whereas it here just shows ‘integrated’. 

With the Nikon Z II, a newer mirrorless camera, most lens profiles will be embedded in the raw files by the camera. And most such embedded profiles will be appear as “Camera Settings”:

You can enable or disable the application of that embedded profile.

With older mirrorless cameras, and some combinations of newer cameras and lenses, LR will automatically apply the embedded lens profile (as in your case), and you can’t disable it.  It is the camera manufacturer, not Adobe, that decides when to automatically apply the profile.

Adobe’s documentation about this is woefully out of date and they’ve ignored repeated requests to update it.

It appears that the ‘integrated’ profile only changes the vignetting, but not any distortions (i.e., there are no geometrical changes when I switch it on or off), whereas the Tokina profile does change distortions. Since every lens has some distortions, I guess that it might be better to use the Tokina profile. What do you think?

Note that you can’t disable that embedded profile -- it is always applied, whether or not you check the box above.

When you click the “i”, does it say that it is just correcting vignetting and not distortions?  If so, then when you manually select and apply the Tokina profile, you are applying both the embedded profile’s corrections as well as the corrections in the manually selected profile. So you might be applying the vignetting correction twice.  If it looks like you’re getting too much vignetting correction, you can reduce it by adjusting the Vignetting slider in that panel.  Then resave the settings as Lens Profile Defaults, and that will include your Vignetting adjustment.

Note “Integriertes Objektivprofil angewendet”, which translates to “Built-in Lens Profile applied”. LR has automatically applied a lens profile that the camera embedded in the raw file. If you click the “i” button, you’ll see more details about the lens corrections that were applied.

In this case, you shouldn’t manually apply a lens profile, since the corrections have already been applied.

Older cameras, like your D750, didn’t embed lens profiles in raw files.
