Apply user preset during import based on camera model and lens model

I change lenses fequently during photoshoot. I have a preferred basic settings/correction for each lens model. For example lens A, + sharpening - vibrance + contrast, Lens B, + texture, and so on... Each profile I have an extra step to add auto apply this present when EXIF metadata = lensModel, cameraModel, etc... during import.

Currently I cannot achieve this because the "Apply During Import" feature can only apply 1 present without any AI.

Unless there is already a XML feature that I don't know about but if there isn't. How difficult for Adobe to add this feature? Would any of your like to have it?

You can already apply a preset as camera default in the preferences. If needed, you can even do that by camera serial number. That is as far as is goes and quite frankly I think that is as far as the vast majority of Lightroom users need it to go. I don't expect many people needing presets per lens, especially because applying lens profiles is already included in the camera defaults too.

Please hear me out, the Leica does pick up the correct lens profile with the "enable profile correctoins" check box selected. I also reckon Canon does pick up the correct lens profile. But Nikon is not picking up anything. (P.S. my Lightroom Classic is up to date)

Thank you for take this into consideration - I am so excited to see this to happen. Currently manual workflow using the meta filter to apply correct lenes and basic settings to each lens is very time consumming.

I also believe that the market has changed, there are tons of lens-adapters that passes thru EXIF. I am quite sure many photogs love this idea if they see this post. Going back to different sensor within the same brand, the difference is not tiny, Nikon cameras redending very differently across models. Moreover, some older lenses need to add sharpness for example. Therefore only vingenette and distrotion correction are not enought. Anyway enough said... meanwhile I can only wait and hope.

The Nikon image files with no lens profile probably use a "Buit-In" lens profile (i.e. Z series). What model Nikon camera?

What rendering parameters are you talking about? Distrotion, Vignetting, and Sharpening, settings should be the same regradless of the camera body used. Can you provide example raw files that display rendering differences along with a description of what you are seeing? Also, color and tonal differences between camera models are corrected using custom camera profiles, not lens profiles. More here on raw default setup:
