No Lens Profile in CaptureOne for 35mm APO Summicron M

Hi everyone! 

Need some advice: 

I am in a fortunate position to acquire a Leica Apo Summicron-M 35mm for a fortune but comparably good price. So I have the lens at home trying some test shots with it - now I found out that there is some strange distortion in my CaptureOne file edits which I do not see elsewhere on the internet. 

I attached a picture below where you can see the curvature of a in real life straight line.

The strange thing now is, that when I open the file in Lightroom, there is no distortion visible, the line is straight as it should be!! 

According to CaptureOne help site, there is no lens profile available for the Apo. Can somebody advise what I can do? Are there any options? I mean - this is a list price EUR 8000,- lens - and no profile available in one of the two major RAW editors?? Did Leica / CaptureOne loose - are they serious?? 

I will give the lens back in case there is no turnaround. Thanks for your heads up! 

Best, Andreas

Make your own profile and save it, especially if it's just a case of pincushion distortion as seen here.
