rramesh Posted February 24, 2012 Share #1 Posted February 24, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have seen some forum members like sokolovs publish lens profiles for Leica lens. Since Leica ships Lightroom for all M customers as part of purchase, shouldn't they publish appropriate lens profiles. Coded lens may have this corrected but what about non-coded lens? After all manufacturers like Zeiss have a complete library of lens profiles for all their M mount lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Hi rramesh, Take a look here Leica lens profiles for Lightroom. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Ecar Posted February 25, 2012 Share #2 Posted February 25, 2012 After all manufacturers like Zeiss have a complete library of lens profiles for all their M mount lens. Could you post a link? Have been unable to find them... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted February 25, 2012 Share #3 Posted February 25, 2012 Zeiss lenses have been profiled for Canon and Nikon mounts, as listed here. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecar Posted February 25, 2012 Share #4 Posted February 25, 2012 Zeiss lenses have been profiled for Canon and Nikon mounts, as listed here. Thank you Jeff. I had seen those. But the OP mentioned a "complete library of lens profiles for all their M mount lenses". Was just curious, in case I missed them... After all, Leica also offers profiles for the S lenses.

Paul J Posted February 25, 2012 Share #5 Posted February 25, 2012 That's because Leica lenses don't need correcting I wondered this my self especially since Lightrrom is bundled with the cameras....it's strange. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a number of wideangles distortion certainly needs correction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppyman Posted March 7, 2012 Share #8 Posted March 7, 2012 Take a look in LR4 where you will now find at least 20 Leica M len profiles included (additional to the S lens profiles). I have never seen any need for them myself. I would speculate that these were generated by Leica Camera themselves and provided to Adobe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppyman Posted March 7, 2012 Share #9 Posted March 7, 2012 Lens corrections are part of the Develop Module. You can choose whether to enable the standard ones for the detected lenses or custom ones or make manual corrections or correct chromatic aberrations Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ymc226 Posted March 7, 2012 Share #10 Posted March 7, 2012 In terms of ultra wide angle lens distortion at the edges, does the M9 correct for that in camera (for the 18mm Super Elmar causing my daughter's body to be stretched wider for example on film) or will it be more corrected in LR4 when the specific lens corrections are applied in the develop module.

Lindolfi Posted March 13, 2012 Share #11 Posted March 13, 2012 Even the near perfect Summilux 50/1.4 ASPH is corrected by LightRoom 4: the tiny amount of pincushion distortion is corrected as well as the nearly invisible chromatic aberration. The reduction of purple fringing is a bonus that can be switched on in the manual part of the lens correction module. There are 21 Leica M lens profiles included. You can also define your own profile. There is also a 2012 Process added, which produces a slightly darker image than the 2010 process I used in LightRoom 3.
