Was hoping someone could point me to where I can find a list of profiles to use with common M Lenses? I have a Voigtlander 40MM F1.4 that I want to use on my CL.

Thanks in advance

Try it without a profile, I have several lenses (Leica and not Leica) that just are listed as unknown lens and I get nice photos with them. I often just set the profiles to off. Just use it and see what happens, you should be fine.

It gives you a choice: use "unknown lens"

Leica never made 40mm lenses for M cameras, only for the film CL in the seventies (40/2 & 40/2.8), so there are no 40mm profiles available in current Leica cameras AFAIK. There is no need for profiles when using those lenses or your VM 40/1.4 on crop cameras like the digital CL, but if you want one  for whatever reason, the closer profile could be "35 f/1.4 11869/11870/11860" for Summilux-M 35/1.4 pre-asph.

Here are some old notes I found when I was bunging around this topic in 2014.
