Fuji X100s Lens Corrections in LR5

I keep hearing conflicting reports about how Lightroom handles lens corrections for the Fuji X100s. Some say you need to use the X100 profile while others say that Lightroom applies the corrections automatically, behind the scenes, based on info embedded in the raw file itself and that selecting the X100 profile would only "double up" on the corrections. Others have said that there is no X100s profile yet but NOT to use the X100 profile because it might make things worse since the sensor has changed and the new X-Trans sensor and lens combination would likely need different corrections than the old one.

Some clarification would be really appreciated.

Have there been any updates on this matter? I've got an X100T and similar to the posts above, I don't know if the corrections are being applied automatically or not. If so, and I turn on "Enable Profile Corrections" then presumably I'm doubling-up on my corrections. I'll have to try the white-wall and repeating-pattern experiments to see if I can visually make out any distortion after a plain vanilla import. But if someone's already figured out the answer then you could save me some trouble.

I'm on Lightroom 5.7.1.

The best test to see if Lightroom is carrying out the lens corrections required by Fuji Film is to do a conversion with Lightroom and compare it with the JPEG output by your camera model.

This camera has a fixed prime lens 35mm. If the camera manufacturer is not making lens correction in producing the jpeg then it is so by design. There should be little if any correction necessary.

If you have an X100s camera, yourself, you should be able to confirm whether LR is doing its own corrections behind the scenes:

Take a raw and a jpg of a regular pattern like bricks or graph-paper, and then look to see if the raw looks similarly corrected compared with the camera JPG assuming corrections are turned on in the camera.

Do the same pair of shots of a blank, light-colored, evenly-lit wall and see if the vignetting correction is applied to both the raw and the jpg. Wide-angle probably would show more vignetting than zoomed in.

Currently, with the profiles that installed with LR 5.2 RC, there is an X100 lens profile for but no a profile with X100s in its filename.

I have done this and initially concluded that Lightroom was doing corrections behind the scenes because the raw and jpeg looked the same distortion-wise but then was told by someone on another forum that the out of camera jpegs do not have any corrections applied to them.

So, it would be really nice to hear what Adobe has to say about it.

Do the out-of-camera JPGs have distortions or not?
