Lens Profiles for Manual Lenses?

I'm just starting to play w/ LR3 and the Lens Profile Creator.  Is there is way to create profiles for manual lenses that have no EXIF data captured?  I've been shooting with various M42 screw mount and Pentax-A lenses with a K20D.

  • Lens profiles for Nikon lenses

    Hello,
    Does anyone know a site where users have posted lens profiles that they have made for the Nikon lenses which are NOT included in the Photoshop CS 5 software?
    I have a Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8 lens that needs correction when shooting at or near 17mm - and I hate to have to make my own profile if someone has already done it.  I have used the profile supplied by Adobe for my Nikon 10.5mm fisheye lens - and it is spectacular!
    Is there a master site where users have posted lens profiles for Nikon lenses?

  • Profiles for manual (no-exif) lenses

    Hello,
    I'd like to make a number of profiles for manual lenses. I know I can define various focal point sets (like 20cm, 1.5m, 10m). That's nice. But I'd also like to make profiles for a number of f-stops (2.0, 5.6, 11). Is it possible in one profile?

    After some trials I have implemented a method
    that's OK for me but that is not recommended
    for casual users. Make copies before !
    I Use ExifToolGUI (free tool) to insert
    f-stop and focal length into the DNGs
    related to the charts.
    LPC does his job and creates a single
    profile .
    Then for images to correct
    either you use the CS5 Filter and right-click
    to select the assumed parameters
    (images remain intact, doesn't work for ACR[no right click]),
    or you have to insert assumed parameters
    into the input images
    (images are modified, works in CS5 and ACR).
    The Adobe method is fine too !

  • Hello, Can you tell me where I can found the lens profil for the Canon 500MM F4 Mark II

    Can some one tell me where I could find this lens profile for Lightroom 5.4.
    thanks

    Given the 600mm F4 IS II (February 2011) lens profile hasn't been created yet it may be a while (if ever). I wouldn't worry about it since the lens profile only corrects distortion and vignetting. There is virtually no distortion with either of these lenses and vignetting is within 0.2EV using the 600mm profile, which you can set as the "default" profile. Personally I think people put too much emphasis on the need for "automatic" lens profile correction. All my lens profile defaults are set to Distortion = 0 and Vignetting = 50. I change the setting only when an image appears to need more correction. WHY?
    REASON
    Distortion correction crops part of the image and increases "edge" stretching with wide angle lenses–It's a trade-off for straight lines in the image. IMHO-If it's not visible in the image you don't need it. 100% Vignetting correction setting can look un-natural and amplifies lens aberrations and softness in the corners, which is where vignetting correction is applied the most.
    My 2 cents worth.

  • 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.

  • Looking for lightroom lens profile for tamron lens

    I am using lightroom 5 at work and shot some images with a canon 5d2 body with tamron 24-70 2.8 vc and tamron 70-200 2.8 vc lense. According to the note below, both lens are supported since lightroom 4.1.  However I can not find the profile of these two lens on lightroom 5.  Does anyone how I can bring the profile back in?  Thanks.

    The ProgramData folders are for Photoshop and are probably as old as the newest version of PS or DNG Converter you have.
    The lens profiles for Lightroom 4 and 5 are under LR's Resources subfolder:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom x.x\Resources\LensProfiles\1.0\
    (x.x = whatever version of LR you have)
    For my LR 4.4  I have the following 16 subfolders under LensProfiles\1.0:
    Apple
    Canon
    Fujifilm
    Hasselblad
    Leica
    Mamiya
    Nikon
    Pentax
    Phase One
    Samsung

  • 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.

  • Camera Raw RC 8.6 does not automatically locate the lens profile for the new Canon 16-35mm f4 lens.  The profile is in RC 8.6

    I have loaded Camera Raw RC 8.6.  It can not automatically locate the new Canon 16-35mm f4 lens, although the lens profile can be manually found.

    Hi
    I forgot to answer one question.
    When I have a file from the Canon 16-35mm f4 lens in Camera Raw and go to 
    Lens Correction and check the box Enable Lens Profile Corrections, when I
    select  the model in the first box as Canon, it picks the wrong 16-35mm lens. 
    It  picks the f2.8.  I hope that you can get this fixed in Raw 8.6.  It is 
    a major headache for the user of this new lens.

  • Lens profile for Nikon 12-24mm

    I have Lightroom 3.6, which supposedly has a lens profile for the Nikon 12-24mm, but it doesn't show up on the list of available lenses within Lightroom.
    How would I find and import that lens profile?

    It shows up in my version of LR 3.2 (click image below) so should definitely be available in 3.6. It's listed near the bottom of the first section. Is that the lens you mean?

  • Lens profile for Leica 24mm f/2.8 Elmarit

    I'm looking for a lens profile for the Leica 24mm f/2.8 Elmarit lens. I see that Adobe doesn't have one, but if anyone has made one, or can give me some suggested corrections, would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    William

    Adobe probably doesn’t have one because I believe this is a manual lens. 
    A lens profile is a file that contains a series of corrections that are matched to various combinations of: focal-length, aperture and focus distance.  This lens is fixed focal length, so that’s 1 of 3 parameters that are known, but unless the raws from the camera contain aperture and focus-distance data then a lens profile isn’t very precise and the profile matching can’t take place automatically.
    If you want you can try making your own profiles using the Adobe Lens Profile Creator—search Adobe.com for the program, and see if you can get them to work.  Besides the program you’ll want to print out the checkboard calibration target at a known size on a laser printer.
    Start by shooting the series of images of the target for just one focus distance and aperture and see if that profile works.  If so, then do some more for various apertures and focus-distances.  If the info is not stored in the raw files then you’ll want to make a series of profiles and match them manually, yourself after recording what the aperture and focus distance were.  If your camera is one that records an aperture value but it is just a guess based on a front-facing photocell on the camera body, then this could be wildly wrong so the corrections may not be that close.

  • 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).

  • Produced lens profile for Canon G12 put in folder 1.0 does not show in lightroom edit pane

    Noted that adobe show lens profiles for G10, G12 G15 and G1X but only G10 shows in downloader and in lightroom edit pane profile selection
    Created my own lens profile for G12 svaed it but does not come up in edit pane choices??

    What LR version are you using, and does LR let you manually select the profile you want?
    I take your point that Canon could have offered their own Adobe-compatible profiles, but those would probably have needed to then be supplied to the end user by Canon, not by Adobe.
    I am seeing the particular Canon profiles that you mention, in LR 5.4, offered against Raw images but not against non-Raw images.
    Unless you are using an older software version, or selecting perhaps a derived edit version in e.g. TIFF instead of a Raw, I am at a loss why you are not seeing them too.
    I believe these will have been generated by Adobe. They are here on my PC:
    Please note that there is a non-Raw profile listed there for e.g. the G10 but not for e.g. the G12. So the fact that you ARE seeing a profile for the G10, lends some weight to the idea that the image currently selected may not in fact be Raw based.
    BTW, I don't think that any extra profiles that the user might make or find, and then save in here, are going to ever be seen by LR (or ACR). This is apparently the Adobe "official installed profiles only" location.
    Any profiles made or found by the user, need to be saved into a similar folder within the user's data area, in order for LR to see them and use them. And if these are Raw based, they will still not appear for a non-Raw based image.
    On my Windows computer, that location is C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0
    This has a "Downloaded" subfolder (which is, I think, the destination used by the Adobe profile downloader utility).

    3. If it is set to 'Default' or 'Auto' is Lightroom automatically detecting which lens I am using?  I'm new at this.

  • Lens Profiles for Tokina Lens

    Is there any support for Tokina's Lens?  I was hoping LR4 would have it but there are no profiles.  The new Corel Aftershot Pro has them.
    just asking.

    Do you know about the lens profile downloader? It's a tool where you can easily download user created profiles for many lenses that are not yet included in LR. Get it here: http://blogs.adobe.com/labs/archives/2010/10/the-lens-profile-downloader-now-available.htm l The companion app Lens profile creator allows you to fairly easily create profiles yourself for your own lens/camera combinations.
    I created a profile for Tokina's 11-16 mm (nikon version) for example and that you can download using the profile downloader app.
