What to select for lens in the M240 menu for Voigtländer lenses?

I am using a Voigtländer NOKTON 35mm F1.2 Aspherical III VM, what should I select for the lens option (if any) in the menu of M240?

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

It won't matter very much, assuming you're shooting RAW. The lens doesn't transmit any useful data to the camera. You can reach out to Stephen Gandy at CameraQuest if you like, he's a Voigtlander dealer and knows as much as there is to know about those lenses.

Otherwise, just select the proper lens profile in ACR or LR.

this is my 'go to' lens on the m246. i dont bother with lens profile. the distortions are only noticeable if you have a lot of straight lines (see the railing in image 1, but not noticeable in real life use per image 2). if it bothers you just shoot some images of brick walls at different distances and adjust in post.

I just select a Leica lens that is closest to the Voigtlander and then use the Lens Tagger plugin in Lightroom to edit the EXIF with the actual lens data. I use the Lightroom catalog a lot to evaluate my various lenses, so it is useful to have the actual lens data recorded.
