I'm using a Zeiss Otus 55mm f1.4 Nikon mount with a Novoflex adapter.   Any idea how to code the lens with the SL. Thx!

You do not need to code it. This lens has no distortions

I don`t think you can get the Nikon adaptor to read a code, but I am not 100 % certain about this. I would perhaps try it out and select a lens manually in the menu. This is a steller lens if course but as with every other lens there is some vignetting wide open and perhaps coding might help a little in this respect. Try out 1.4/50mm and see how that works.

Thanks. I can also correct in Photoshop - probably not a big deal.

What you should never do is to apply profiles of other lenses in-camera. Profiles include information for distortions, vignetting, CA and color corrections that are individual for each and every lens. If there is no in-camera profile for the lens, it is always better to leave it alone and then later apply a profile in LR/ACR.

Nearly a perfect quote of what I always say and write, Irakly Glad to have you onboard, totally agreed.

As a general rule, you are 100% right, but there are profiles that work well with specific lenses, at least in M cameras (ie. ZM 35/2.8 with M 28/2.8 v3/v4 profile and so on)
