Olympus Lens Correction on OM-1 Body

Adobe claims that it uses the built in lens correction for all MFT lenses and cameras.

With my Olympus 14-150 mounted on an EM1 Mark II LR applies the built in correction.

When the same lens is mounted on my OM-1 it does not use the built in lens correction.

The OM-1 was released in March 2022. There should have been sufficient time to address this matter.

When I have spoken with Adobe reps (actually twice) the answer is get the lens correction data from manufacturer and we will help you install it. Nothing about Adobe addressing this issue in an update.

We pay a monthly fee to Adobe so that they address issues and take corrective action quickly yet there seems to be no interest addressing this matter notwithstanding their statement that LR uses the bult in lens correction for all MFT lenses.

I agree that for the OM-1 the behaviour of the lens profiles has changed. For a couple of lenses including the here mentioned 40-150 F2.8 the lens profile tab no longer shows 'build-in' but detailed information about the applied profile and you are able to deactivate the profile or change the distortion mount.

 

Curiously, that doesn't apply to all lenses. For the Olympus 300 f4 or the Olympus 150-400 f4.5 the lens profile tab still shows just 'built-in'. Even more curiously, when using one of these two lenses together with one of the available teleconverters, the behaviour changes to new variant where the profile can be deactivated manually.

 

To me, this looks like a bug in the new implemention of the lens profiles for MFT lenses. I would rather prefer that all lenses use the new style which offers more flexibility.

Only now read johnrellis comment that this might be a decision of the lens manufacturer. Still let's me wonder why lenses are treated differently when a teleconverter is applied.

    This may be an issue with the camera rather than LR. For this category of cameras, LR applies whatever lens profile the camera has embedded in the raw.

     

    The most efficient way to troubleshoot this is to upload sample raws taken with the EM1 and OM-1 and that lens to Dropbox, Google Drive, or similar and post the sharing link here.

     

    (For other than the simplest, most common issues, you can't trust anything Adobe support says, unfortunately.  What they told you is nonsense.)

    I think that the problem is that they are not capturing the data correctly from teh RAW file. The OM-1 RAW is diffferent then teh EM1 Mark II.

    Sample photos would help resolve the issue and identify whether it's a problem with the camera or a bug in LR.
