Lens Correction won't list my camera and lens

Why won't the Lens Correction filter recognize my camera and lens, which is shown in the metadata below the correction window? I had been using the venerable Canon 5D Mk II and now the Mk III. For images taken with the III it doesn't even list Canon in the Camera dropdown -- too new? Even with the II, I had to choose the camera manually and then choose the lens from a very tedious list, and had no indication if it was using the focal length in the case of a zoom, or the aperture.
I do strongly prefer to do this correction in Camera Raw or Lightroom, and realize it needs to be done on an uncropped image to be accurate. I'm probably missing something, but why even present it as an auto correction if it can't use the metadata? Why not just limit it to the manual correction?

Lens Correction within Photoshop - CS5 E and CS6 E- Shows camera/lens info for the 5DMkIII in the lower left hand corner, but nothing in the drop down menu.
CS5:
CS6:
But with both CS5 E and CS6E, it's the reverse here. Bottom left corner doens't show camera information, but I can select it manually from the drop down list. Also, I can select the other items just about the drop down menus list.
CS5
CS6
Sorry for appearing to post duplicate images, but they aren't. It's screen captures from both CS5 Extended and CS6 Extended.
Anything from Canon 7D and earlier (including most of the Canon Powershots, but not the G1X), I get all the options in the drop down menus on the right. Canon 5DMkIII and Olyumpus OMD EM5, nothing.
I hope that's documented enough.

I want to enter the info specific to my camera and lens into the lens corrections options in P'shop 2014 and L'room 2015 but they're not on the list. (Nikon D-750 with 24-120 lens). How do I fix this?

I recently upgraded from a Nikon D-7000 to a D-750 with the Nikkor 24-120 mm lens but they aren't on the list of options in either P'shop or Lightroom under camera and lens profiles. Since every tutorial I viewed on the 24-120 lens suggested fixing the distortion issues in P'shop, how do I make the choice without those specific products being on the list?

A few do shoot in JPEG...I definitely do not!

Lightroom, 5.5, Mac version: lens metadata incomplete and/or inconsistent. Photos taken with the same camera and lens display the lens metadata differently in LR 5.5, but are the same in the original files

LR is putting different descriptions of the same lens, used with the same camera, in the metadata of photos taken on the same occasion.
For example:
The following two images were taken with the same camera and lens.
They were imported at the same time into LR by copying.
The only difference in treatment is that the first was an untouched out-of camera jpeg, the second had been flipped using Preview on the Mac.
The one that was flipped has a full description of the lens, the one that was untouched has an abbreviated description.
When you show the file in the Finder and read the metadata using Preview, the correct full lens description appears.
Why is LR displaying the metadata differently for these two files?

Can you zip up a few of your GoPro images, upload them to dropbox.com and post a share link, here, so others can experiment with them, or do you mean this issue is global to all camera models?

Missing camera and lens profiles in CS6 upgrade

I have just upgraded from CS5 to CS6 on OSX 10.7.5 and am running the latest software (ie CS6 13.05 and ACR 8.2.0.94). My old Canon 7D profiles are available in CS6 but I can't see any profiles for the latest cameras like the Canon 6D or Ricoh GR (among several others), which are meant to be supported. Is this a known bug and/or is there some fix?

I had lots of hassle installing CS6 the first time (ie installation error code U44M1P7 - tried lots of workarounds to no avail) so eventually deleted both the old CS5 and CS6 and did a fresh install of CS6. This worked fine and didn't appear to have any problems in then running all the latest software updates. However, the camera and lens profiles I was expecting to see in ACR and PS Lens Correction Filters just aren't there. I'm just using PS CS6.

How do I download camera and lens profiles?

I am new to CC. How do I download camera and lens profiles and install them in Photoshop and LR5?

Hope this answers your questions. If not check back.

Missing Camera and Lens Metadata after iPhoto Import

I've noticed that the Photos for Mac app seems to have "lost" all of the Camera and Lens Metadata associated with each of my photos. Has this happened to anyone else?
No matter which photo I choose, the Info inspector window shows "No Camera Information" and "No Lens Information". I've confirmed that the Camera and Lens metadata is still present in the original iPhoto Library.
If I create a new iPhoto Library with just a dozen or so pictures and then choose that Library when launching Photos for Mac, by pressing the Option key while clicking the Icon, the photos are imported with the Metadata intact. Clearly something went wrong with the import of my much larger main iPhoto library. (The main library has over 100,000 photos in it.)
I'm wondering if there is some way to force Photos for Mac to re-index the Metadata. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Michael

I have the same problem.. no lens metadata
will rebuild library with alt-cmd-start-Photos help?

Cleaning Your Camera and Lens

Like everything we own cameras and lenses get dirty and should be cleaned from time to time. It’s really not too difficult, but make sure to do it right. The feeling of scratching an expensive lens while trying to clean it is something you’ll regret for a while.
Items you need to clean your camera and lens
Brushes
Air Blower
Lens Cleaning Liquid
Cleaning cloth or Tissues
How to clean you camera and Lens
First you should take a brush, designed to clean photography equipment, and brush off all surfaces.
Now take the Air Blower and blow any remaining loose debris (i.e. sand, dust, etc…) off the camera and lens surfaces. Pay special attention to crevices. You should also make sure to blow out the memory card slots and accessory ports.
Next get your Cleaning Cloth/Cleaning Tissues wet with some of your Lens Cleaning Liquid and clean all surfaces. When cleaning glass surfaces, like lenses and LCD screens, make sure to move the cloth/tissue in a circular motion. I personally like a Microfiber Cleaning Cloth over tissues.
I would not try to clean the rear lens element of a DSLR or Compact System Camera (CSC), beyond just blowing any dust off of it. Being that the rear lens element should almost always be protected from the elements it shouldn't need to be cleaned much.
Do not use compressed “air” on a camera. Unless held perfectly upright for short amounts of time, these can emit aerosol and the pressure involved can damage some areas of a camera.
There are techniques to clean a camera’s sensor, but other than blowing off the sensor with a blower, I would recommend not doing this yourself. Although you can do this, it would be terrible to damage your camera’s sensor. If your camera’s sensor gets dirty, have it professionally cleaned. A professional knows what they are doing, and if they happen to make a mistake, they should cover it.

There are two ways to approach this:
*Leaving feedback for the developers about the functionality of this icon in [https://input.mozilla.org/en-US/feedback/firefox?#moreinfo]
*Suggest a functionality alternative in bugzilla cc sevaan -> however including the steps to reproduce, what is expected and what actually happens in the bug description is very important.

Lens correction won't automatically detect lens and correct

I'm having a fun time with the lens correction feature in LR 3.2, but it will not auto detect the lens. I have all profiles loaded, I checked. I convert all photos to .dng from the .nef format. (Nikon shooter) When I enable the profile corrections button the setup changes to custom and the lens profile "maker" drop down says none??? and on the bottom it reads "Unable to locate a matching profile automatically." If I change the Make to Tamron by manually selecting it, for example, it finds the profile and all is well. How in the heck do I set it up so the profile connection is enabled automatically and the right lens pops up without intervention?? Hope someone can help with this...I'm working through 500 down selects and this would be nice to fix this issue.
I can see all the lens info in the metadata on the normal library screen????.
Thanks so much for your help in advance!

So you have Tamron lenses...
Here's a quote from a post by Eric Chan (one of LR/ACR developers):
Re: the Sigma 10-20 question. Regrettably, we cannot always automatically determine with 100% certainty the identity of the lens used to shoot the image. We try to be conservative. So if in doubt, we don't choose one automatically. For some third party lenses, this can happen. Choosing Sigma from the Make popup is the right thing to do in this case.
Still, you can try the following trick:
Choose an image shot with a Tamron lens.
Go to lens correction. (The Lens profile auto-detection is supposed to be failed at the moment.)
Choose Tamron and the desired profile from the lists.
Drop down the Setup list and choose "Save New Lens Profile Defaults".
This should rememeber the lens setup (i.e. slider values and lens profile) for the given camera/lens combination.
You can also use a develop preset to apply a lens correction quickly.

Supported lens corrections profile not listed in Lightroom 3.2

I have installed the Lightroom 3.2 update, which lists support for the "Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II" lens. I've shot a number of photos with this lens (using a Canon T1i) and loaded them into Lightroom. In the metadata for the photos, the lens appears as "EF50mm f/1.8 II".
Within Lightroom's "Lens Corrections" section, the "Auto" option reports "Unable to locate a matching profile automatically." I've manually searched the list of Canon lenses, and it's not on the list.
In the folder
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles/1.0/Canon/
I see a file corresponding to this lens
Canon EOS 5D Mark II (Canon EF 50mm f1.8 II) - RAW.lcp
but it's listed with only the one specific body.
I've tried manually installing the Camera Raw 6.2 update, but it reports "Update is not applicable." Given the file listed above, I suspect it was already installed.
In the release notes, which listed Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens, it didn't mention that support was limited to only a certain camera body. Could someone please help me? Thanks!

My assumption that I should be able to find the lens within Lightroom came from the release notes at
http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2010/08/lightroom-3-2-and-came ra-raw-6-2-now-available.html
rather than the filename of the profile that I found. As far as I can see, the release notes don't specify that it only applies to raw images.
I agree that the release notes could have been a clearer in terms of what was provided. I can also appreciate why the profiles for JPEG were not included, namely time constraints.
After converting the original raw images to JPEG it would have taken an hour or so to run the calibration images for these "new" profiles through the lens profile creator application. Following a number of requests I did this myself for the dozen or so profiles that I had already uploaded to the Adobe lens profile server. That was a days work for me, for the Adobe engineer(s) working on all of the new profiles it would probably have taken a fair number of days/weeks.

Fuji xt-1 camera and lens support

I just purchase the Fuji XT-1 camera and lenses, I don't see lens support under lens correction in the development module, I don't see Fuji supported.
Is there support for Fuji and the x series lenses?
Thanks in advance.
Tom

The XT1 files have built-in lens correction in Adobe raw converters, although in the sample file I found, it was only for Chromatic Aberration, so the lenses must be very good if they don't need distortion correction:

Is Zeiss wet cleaning wipes, and other commercial cleaning aids for camera and lens, safe????

I looked for a answer in search but came up with nothing. I have stuff I bought that are suppose to be good for camera's and lens but have'nt used much of it yet. I have used the Zeiss wipes on my glasses but not on my gear much just yet. It's this stuff safe????

LR4 lens correction. When will canon 10-18mm lens be added

I recently purchased a canon 10-18mm lens. But when I tried to use the lens correction facility I discovered that it was not on the dropdown list of lenses.
Do you know a date when it will be added?

I have a similar Windows version so I can give you specific instructions. This is how to copy the lens profile for the 10-18 from the Adobe PS location to the Users location so an older LR can see it.
Download and install the DNG Converter 8.7 from: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/ This will put the new profiles at a known location.
Find the profile you want to copy under C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\Canon and right-click Copy
I think the file you want is: Canon EOS 50D (Canon EF-S 10-18mm f4.5-5.6 IS STM) - RAW.lcp
Go to the Users profile location: C:\Users\Steve\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\Downloaded
You may need to create some of the folder path, but down through Roaming should exist. The AppData folder is hidden so you may have to type it into Explorer and hit Enter to get down into it, or type %AppData% into an Explorer address bar and hit Enter and you should be down into the Roaming folder.
Once you are in the Downloaded folder (that you may have had to create) do a Paste to copy the profile over to it, and you're done, once you've restarted LR so it'll see the new profile.

Effects of using EF in EF-S camera and lens crop factor calculations.

I have read a lot about APS-C sensors and the differences between EF and EF-S lenses.
I still have two remaining questions regarding how EF-S lenses are marketed.
1) Do EF-S lenses need to have the 1.6x factor applied for effective focal length or are they marked correctly since they can only be used in APS-C cameras?
E.G. My 17-40mm EF 4L lens is effectively a 27.2-64mm when used in a EF-S mount camera due to the 1.6x factor.
So would a 60mm EF-S prime lens actually be similar to a 60mm EF prime lens in terms of focal and "zoomed" level of the image? Or would it also apply the crop factor and be effectively a 96mm focal length?
2) Are there any other attributes of an EF lens that you must apply a conversion when using in an EF-S mount? F-stop rating?
Thank you in advance for any guidance you provide!!

If you feel obliged to think in full-frame terms even when using an APS-C camera, then yes, the crop factor is applied equally to zooms and primes. But unless you routinely use both types of camera, the mental exercise is really rather silly. Better to simply get used to the idea that on an APS-C camera a 30mm lens is "normal"; a 50mm lens is a mild telephoto or portrait lens; a 17-55mm zoom is a typical "walking around" lens; etc. Once you start thinking in those terms, you're much less likely to select the wrong lens than if you have to constantly apply the correction factor. If you do use both APS-C and FF cameras, you'll quickly get used to selecting, for example, the right normal lens for either type of camera, because you already know, in each case, what that is. At least that's what I've found to be true.

Warranty question re new camera and lens kit

Over boxing day i purchased a new Canon 6D with a kit lens (the 28-105mm). I have a 28-70mm f/2.8 so was thinking of selling the 28-105mm that came as part of the kit ... BUUUUUT was wondering if that would in any way impact the camera warranty if something where to occur with the camera? Haven't read the fine print but think the default is a one year warranty from Canon Canada.... should i hang on to the lens 'just in case' for that long or can i sell to try to pay for the purchase
Body: Canon 6D, Canon T1i, Canon Elan II,
Glass: Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM, Canon 18-55 kit lens, Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6, Canon 50mm f/1.8,
Flash: Canon Speedlite 430ex ii

The camera body has it's own warranty so you can sell the lens but once sold it's warranty is over according to everything I've read. Warranty isn't transferable on Canon or Nikon but can be on some store bought policies.
