How long does it usually take to get a Corrections Profile for a new lens?

[Steven L. Gotz]

I realize that I am one of the first to have the new Nikkor 120-300mm f/2.8 lens, but does anyone know how long it might be before I see a lens corrections profile for it on the list and in the software?

Has anyone else purchased a new lens and had to wait? How long did it take?

Thanks.

What camera? Two parts to a lens profile, lens and what camera.

Good point. That didn't occur to me. Nikon D750 and D500.  I am not sure how the camera makes a difference though, but then again, there are an awful lot of things I don't know. 🙂

The typical minimum wait for support of any new hardware is about 2 updates of LR (1.5 development cycles due to the lack of coordination between Adobe and the hardware makers).

Support for new lenses is hard to speculate on. Pro lenses are often scheduled sooner than consumer lenses, popular lenses sooner than not-popular. Which camera they are attached to can also play into the mix.

The idea of the camera making a difference is enlightening, that's for sure.

Because of the price of the lens ($9,500) I thought they might want to get it done quickly. But since my two cameras, the D750 and D500 are more "prosumer" than professional, even though I make money with them, that might hold things up.
