Lightroom 3 lens profiles.....at last

The Lens Profiler Utility supplied by Adobe has some really great potential (as pointed out in the video) for creating our own custom Camera/Lens profiles.

That's great. I am using some Leitz Visoflex lenses on the M9 and on several Nikon bodies (D3, D300, D40). I am hoping that one would have to create only one lens profile for use on various cameras. Where am I wrong?

Thanks for the heads-up, Sandy!

 

Extremely impressive and useful technology.

 

 

Photography is dead! Long live photography!

 

 

Or was that supposed to be "Off with her head!"?

Sandy as always I appreciate both your expertise and contributions on this. Since Leica Camera reported that the latest firmware incorporated corrections for those specific lenses where this edge issue sometimes occurred, are you able to comment or know of any testing to verify how effective this has been now that the new firmware has been in use for a period?

 

Adobe of course are implementing these new tools with no specific cameras in mind. I imagine if the red edge issue had been prominent with Canon (especially) or other volume brands the tools may be different.

Geoff,

 

I think where we are is that for Leica lenses, the new firmware was a significant improvement - so for most people using a coded Leica lens, under most circumstances, they get results that are ok. Practically, there seem to be far fewer "Oh $%^$" moments.

 

But it's also clear that the new firmware didn't solve the problem 100%. So far as I can see, some unlucky people have combinations of M9's and Leica lenses for which the problem is still noticeable nearly all the time. And the vast majority of wide-angle lenses and M9 combinations still show the problem if you look closely enough - fortunately not enough for it to be a problem most of the time, but I think that most people will still get the occasional shot where the problem is visible.

 

Certainly if a mainstream Nikon or Canon camera showed this problem, I think Adobe would be all over it....

 

Regards,

 

Sandy
