Lens profiles for different bodies, but same sensor size?

I downloaded LR 4.1 RC today.  Some of my lenses are not profiled in LR so I then downloaded Lens Profile Downloader Preview 3 to see if there are any profiles available for download.  For some lenses I found profiles, but they were not done on the same body that I have (same sensor size though).   Can I use profiles for lenses if they are for a camera body that is different than mine, but still the same sensor size?  My understanding is that wiht a lens profile LR will automatically correct distortion, vignetting, and CA.  Will that work if my body is different than the body used to profile the lens?  Thank you.

You can find this statement:
Regarding lens vs camera+lens combinations. Generally, Adobe only supplies 1 profile per lens. Differences between cameras (e.g., crop factors) are automatically taken into account when applying the profile

  • Camera RAW v7.3:Lens Profile for Nikkor DX 17-55mm

    Hi,
    LR v4.3 correctly reads from NEF the lens Metadata like: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED. This lens profile is properly assigned to the corresponding NEF file.
    Still in LR when converting the same image (via export dialog) to TIF, again this lens profile is used and reflected in the TIF-output (including metadata). So far so good.
    When converting the same image in Nikon Capture NX2 of course the lens profile (as set in LR) is NOT reflected in the TIF-output. This (should) can be taken care of by enabling a lens profile correction in LR (after import TIF into LR).
    The thing is that LR suggests to apply a profile for lens: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G IF-ED. This profile is probably not the same as for the 17-55mm lens.
    Unfortunately a profile for the Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED is not listed in the selection options.
    Question is:
    How can I best obtain a proper profile for the lens: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED ?
    I find it strange that Camera RAW v7.3 has the proper lens profile for the NEF but suggest another profile for the TIF version of the same file. Apparently the profile is available for NEF but not for the TIF.
    How comes?
    Would appreciate to receive some reasoning and possible solutions.
    Thanks, Hans.

    My findings:
    The lens profile in ACR is for RAW files.
    For converted files (TIF, JPG, etc.) a different lens profile applies.
    Reason(s): The metadata of the TIF-file is not specific enough about lens profiles. (Lens profiles would need to be embedded - they are not).
    For example: Has the TIF-file been converted from RAW using a profile or not? If so, the specific name of the lens profile and it's physical location would be needed.
    Meanwhile it makes sense for me that this part is left to the user.
    The Adobe LensProfile Creator allows to produce a suitable profile for specific needs.
    For many popular lenses there is a non-RAW lensprofile (for TIF, JPG etc.) available that might be applied by the user.
    Thanks 'Geoff the kiwi' you lead me onto the right path to find the answers to my questions.

  • Lens Profiles for Sony Alpha DSLR's? Share Yours!

    Hey everyone out there, I wanted to make a thread were we could share lens profiles for the Sony Alpha DSLR system. I currently use the A-700 and the A-900 for all of my "Pro" work. I welcome this new tool with open arms as distortion is sometimes a huge issue when using some wide angle lenses.
    I personally use the following lenses on a daily basis and will be making profiles for these lenses sometime today!
    Tamron 70-200mm f2.8
    Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 (lots of distortion on the wide end)
    Sony 50mm f1.4
    Sony 70-300G
    Sigma 50mm f2.8 Macro
    Minolta 28mm f2.8
    So lets see if we can get the most popular lenses for the Alpha mount profiled and ready to go to share with everyone and help make the Sony shooting experience a whole lot better!

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

    Yes, I actually believe the difference is minimal. The optical distortions & vignette would be the same. Obviously when creating the profile, it would help to use the higher-res camera, as it would allow better recognition of a finer grid chart, but the light would fall on the sensor in the same way for both cameras.
    I'm not looking to argue with anyone. I know things tend to get heated sometimes here and I don't have any desire for that.
    Let's say we have different opinions.
    Nothing wrong with that so long we behave in in civil way.
    The size of the microlenses on top of the photo cells also differ from earlier CMOS sensors.
    That can influence the CA.
    Color fringes, particularly noticeable at the edges of high-contrast photos, are is principally caused by lateral chromatic aberrations, where the lens — like a prism — splits the visible light into its different color components. DxO Optics Pro analyzes each image and automatically detects and corrects these fringes or irisations, thanks to its precise characterization of the fault based on the specific lens-camera combination that you use.

  • Lens profile for Sony A900 carl zeiss vario sonnar 24 - 70 zoom?

    Is there a lens profile for the Sony A900 Carl Zeiss vario sonnar 24 - 70 zoom lens in Photoshop CS5 camera RAW? I have the latest update, the Sony is an old camera now and the CZ zoom is similarly old, beautiful thing to use but doesnt seem to be supported in camera RAW profiles or lens correction filter in CS5. I'm about to use RAW to process around 10 sets of 5 exposures to create files for HDR and want to syncronise the correction to each group of images before I begin to process them, after HDR process I intend to create a pano out of them so its imporrtant to get the lens correction done right at the start and applied identically to each image. Thing is that if I look in the Sony profile theres only a few lenses but no Carl Zeiss, if I look in Carl Zeiss it doesnt list the Sonnar 24 - 70.
    Any solutions?

    It appears  a lens profile is available for this lens using the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader. The profile does not have to be created with your camera model, just a model with the same crop factor or smaller camera sensor. This one is for a 1.5 crop factor APS-C sensor size.
    The 24-70mm is available as well for a 1.0 Crop camera, which will also work with a 1.5 crop body.

  • Using Lens profiles for Nikon D800 in Lightroom 3.6

    When I use Lightroom 3.6 with pictures from Nikon D800, the lens profile for the Mikro Nikor 60 mm lens is not in the list of coice. However, when the picture is from a Nikon D5000, the same lens appears in the list. So, a lens profile exists, but is not open for pictures from the D800. How can I solve this problem? The same is true for the 18-200 mm lens, which however is not suited for the D800 due to heavy vignetting at wide angle, and with the 70-300 mm, which gives good results.

    The D5000 is a crop sensor. The D800 is a Full-Frame sensor.  The Profile for D5000 cannot be "scaled" for a full-frame sensor: thus, it cannot be used.
    Every lens has multipe profiles: 1 for Raw and 1 for Jpeg in each sensor size.  If one has not been created for your particular lens, camera a file format you have three options.
    1: Download the Adobe Lens Profile tool from Adobe Labs and create on yourself. It isn't hard but it is time consuming.
    2: Part of the Adobe Lens Profile tool is a Lens Profile Downloader where you can gain access to a community of people who have shared their lens profiles.
    3: Wait for Adobe to include it in a dot release of Lightroom.
    I checked and I did see the profile for your 60MM available via the downloader.

  • Lens profile for Canon PowerShot S120?

    Is there a lens profile for the Canon PowerShot S120?

    Powershsot S100 is available - minor difference in aperture specification but same zoom range - implying that the elements may be the same.  Could serve for your purposes and works well for my S100. 

  • Create lens profile for ultra wide angle lens

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a lens profile for the ultra wide angle lens Olympus 9-18 mm (Crop factor 2). As i use the lens for timelapse, i only need the profiles for 9 mm and open aperture f4, but combined with several different ND-filters which show different vignetting depending on their filter strength. Filters are oversized, so no influence by fringe. What i need is to get rid of vignetting.
    So far everything works out well, and probably good enough for still photography. However for timelapse I need a high quality compensation of vignetting, otherwise getting flicker.
    My problem is, that with the ultra wide angle lens distance from camera to chart (A3) is just about 0.5 meters.  I did the shootings outside, in shade, when having a clear sky, and I found it quite impossible not to produce any shadow of myself or the camera on the chart. Thus I got a not perfectly even correction of vignetting.
    Can anyone give me tips how to solve that problem with producing shade on the cart? Maybe working indoors with 2 lamps can create better results? Have tried that but found the illumination of the chart so damn poor.

    I think your best bet is outside, with possibly a larger chart.  (The two-light setup indoors is problematic esp. with wide-angle lenses.)
    Instead of waiting for overcast, try waiting for a sunny clear day with a direct lighting from the sun on the chart, at a sharp angle (almost side-lit) so that the chart is clearly illuminated, but the shadow that the camera casts will be to the side (instead of on the chart itself).

  • Re lightroom: I dont see the lens profile for my SIGMA 50mm F1.4 EX DG HSM, how do I add it?

    re lightroom: I dont see the lens profile for my SIGMA 50mm F1.4 EX DG HSM, how do I add it?

    The profile for that lens is available for both Canon and Nikon. I didn't look at other brands. But the profile is for raw files only. Is the file you are using a raw file?

  • Is there a lens profile for Nikon 24-50mm zoom?

    I'm looking for a lens profile for Nikon's AF Nikkor 24-50mm 1:3.3-4.5  The profile doesn't appear to be in Lightroom, does anyone have a suggestion of either how to get 1 included or a workaround.
    Yes, it's an old lens, but a beautiful one.
    With thanks.

    Yay that's great news ... and thanks for such a speedy reply.
    Didn't know about the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader ... so have just downloaded it for Mac and found the lens profile.
    Appreciate your help ... it'll hopefully be great for correcting the distorion i need.

  • Canon FD 50mm 1.8 Lens Profile for Canon 60D

    I've created a lens profile today for the Canon FD 50mm 1.8 on a Canon 60D using the Fotodiox adapter.  I sent it to Adobe for posting publicly.   If anyone would like to download it in the meantime you can find it here:
    Please click this link
    I might have messed it up.  It's my first time creating a profile and seemed to work fine for me in Lightroom.  Let me know if there are any improvements to be made. I used f5.6 since that seemed to be the sweet spot on the lens and the imager was about 5 feet from the chart.

    JPG lens profiles are distinct from RAW lens profiles because cameras can fix things with the camera-produced JPGs that the lens profiles also fix and you can get double-corrections by using a raw lens profile with a jpg, but it depends on the capabilities and settings of the particular camera.
    If you are sure your camera isn’t correcting geometric and vignetting issues with your JPGs, then you can hack the lens profile you downloaded to use it with JPGs, by editing the .lcp file with a text editor and change the flag indicating it is for raw files from True to False.  I forget what this flag is called, exactly, but it is obvious and near the top of the files.
    On Windows, the lens profiles are downloaded to:
    C:\Users\--username--\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\
    AppData is a hidden or system folder so you’ll need to unhide such folders in the folder options in Explorer or just type in the path an hit Enter in the address area of Explorer.

  • Lens profile for Canon 28/1.8 - already installed in LR4?

    Hmm, the explanation of lens profiles and how to add them is a little confusing.
    When I look here in Adobe's own list of supported lenses, my new "Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 IS USM" is listed there:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/lens-profile-support-lightroom-4.html
    Does that mean that profile should already be installed in LR 4? (I am running 4.4)
    The profile is not showing up in Lightroom for me. (I am shooting JPEG.)
    I downloaded the lens profile downloader, and found a profile for this lens, but is that the official Adobe profile for the lens? I installed it but it still doesn't work for me because it is for RAW only.
    Sorry for the newbie question.
    thanks in advance,
