I spent far longer than I thought I would trying to make a profile for the 50/1 in adobe's lens profile creator last night. 

This app is too old to install on my mac 🙄 so I had to piss about swapping between my old win machine and my mac and hacking the exif to get the aperture values I actually used

Then I decided to edit out the distortion corrections by hand directly in the resultant profile. 

Anyway, I THINK 🤔 I've made what I wanted... A profile that corrects only the vignette 

I'll test it for a bit then if it's ok I'll share it on here... 

I fear I've probably just made a profile that does what one can do in a second or two with the vignette slider 😅 but what the hell always nice to try new things (never made a lens profile before only camera ones)

Zero edits bar WB (oh and my home made camera profile, I forgot to take that off for this - but it's the same for each)

One has zero lens profile, the other my home made profile. If you can't see which is which I've failed miserably 😂

I think it looks quite natural.... YMMV

Left is with your profile.

I like your profile, unless I look the wrong way, it has a little more plasticity, the mailbox is a little more in the foreground.
The vignette has been corrected. However, the longer I look at the two photos, I become unsure again.
I could imagine that I'm wrong and you allow yourself a joke.
No, the one on the left has your profile, I'll stick with it.

Yup! Correct! The biggest clue I think is the top right corner 

All that profile should do is remove the vignette, no distortion corrections at all

I'll tidy it up with a proper name (it's called something like CV50Iv3 on my computer) and add it to thread 

(I'm thinking to copy the CV 50 1.2 nomenclature for the name, adobe/CV seem a little inconsistent with their naming conventions) 

Easier to test it if more than just me has it, although I'm not sure how to change it if the consensus is that it's junk..

I noticed the vignette correction more on the left side, on those two tubes and the bottom left corner. However, I doubt my impression that it is a bit more plastic. Could of course also be due to the vignette correction. Or my brain will get a little tricked if I stop looking at the two photos.

It's such terrible weather here, first heavy rain, then turning to snow, now heavy snowfall, 3 C. It's not fun to go out there and if you do, you quickly lose interest after 10 minutes. It's been like this for months and sometimes even more extreme.We'll see tomorrow, maybe take pictures.
Sorry for OT.

It’s turned colder and wetter here too, gone are the halcyon days of fake spring from two weeks ago..

I’m staying near Portugal’s mountains next weekend so that’ll be even colder (maybe even snow…)

A few shots with this lens and the M11. Wide open with not much light. I would have to say that the lens shines in this type of scenario. The color of the light was really distracting, so I processed all the shots from this set as B&W.

Firstly bokeh balls

Compared to my Lux ASPH (at F1.4, CV at F1)

They're rounder, but have more of a fringe and both exhibit signs of internal structure

The focus was (and more or less is) on the front of the fire truck, yet various parts of this snap have waaay more sharpness than they should. FFS indeed.

But that's not to complain about this lens, all lenses have some trade off and we need to remember that this is an optic with an FLE, a ground glass aspherical element, F1.0 and costs less than a 50 summicron (a lens I love and own)

I haven't had too much time to play with it at night yet... but it really seems to shine in low light

and F1 has a charm that certainly adds a sparkle to a photograph

Snap of my kid on the beach, I think manage the bg (or plan to crop) and this lens really delivers the shallow DOF look

(FWIW this is a SOOC DNG!)

I'm sorry to have to disagree with Adam. When I click double on the image (black background), on my monitor ( 4k Benq) I can clearly see the focus on the front, the first left door of the fire truck, the ladder and the man on the ladder.
If you're focused on the writing on the front (are you sure about that?), then it's a slight shift in the focus point, but that doesn't bother you in the slightest.
As a test, I would focus on a subject twice:
With a range finder, starting with the infinity setting and once with the Visoflex to see whether it is you or the lens, after that you will have security.

The portrait is wonderful, this shallow softness, the charm of the transitions, a touch of romance, chapeau!
And not least because of the sweet model.

I love being challenged and tormented by you. 🤭
In my opinion, the lux shows more weaknesses. The circles are rounder in the VC I assume that the circles are even rounder at f1.4 of the VC. You can remove the green lines around the circles if you want. However, it may not be that easy with a slider in the software.
Here it is to be tested whether they can be corrected more easily in LR or C1. Sometimes correction is possible with LR sliders where C1 fails.
It could even be that the VC is a bit sharper in some places than the Lux. I also find the bokeh of the VC a bit more pleasing, softer, well it's f 1.0, it should be like that. The structures in the circles are also more pronounced in the lux. It irritates me a bit.
