P: Lens Corrections fault for Leica M lenses on Leica M11 camera

[timashley]

ISSUE:  Lightroom V 5.3 and LRC V 11.3.1. with CR 14.2 (all for Mac OSX) and LR for IOS V 7.3.2 all have a bug that menas that lens corrections do not work for  the lenses listed as Supported if the camer used is the Leica M11.

Step 1: open any DNG file shot using the Leica M11. 

Step 2: go to Lens Corrections

Step 3: enable lens corrections (process differs depending on version and platform but result is the same across all

Expected result: Lens corrections for that particular lens should be applied if that lens is listed as Supported

Actual Result: Lens corrections are not applied.

Additional information 1: This has been confirmed by many experienced users.

Additional information 2: If I use the DNG Cleaner app to alter the DNG file so that the EXOF shows the camera as Leica M10-R or Leica M9 and then follow the exact process above, the lens corrections are applied.

Additional Information 3: two examples of lenses that are listed as supported but for which lens corrections do not work as they should are the Leica TRI-ELMAR-M 16-18-21mm f/4 ASPH and the LEICA SUMMICRON-M 28mm f/2 ASPH. However it seems that lens corrections do not work for any of my lenses.

This is a clear bug.

Uploading a DNG to something like Dropbox will help should an Adobe engineer see this.

I trying out LR Classic after being away from the application for 6 years. I've been a Capture One Pro user since leaving the Creative Cloud. 

The noise with default settings on any camera's RAW files is noticably more with LR than with C1P. Is it normal to have to crank up LRC luma noise setting to 40-50 in order to improve the image to be comparalbe to C1P?

Also, lens corrections crop my Leica M11 DNG files slightly. This does not happen with C1P's lens corrections. Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks, in advance, for any suggestions.
