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.

Lenscorrection profiles for Sony Alpha lenses

Are there coming correction profiles for Sony Alpha lenses, like the SAL1650. Why are there only profiles fot E mount?

Limited Resources and Lack of Manufacturers Data are often cited as the two most common reasons.
1. You need time to do it.
2. You need a lens or better-the data from the lens manufacturer or both.
And, as always, you can create your own profile and share it with others via the Lens Profile Creation tool and Downloader.

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.

Lens profile for Sony NEX E 16mm f/2.8

I have made a profile at 1.15m focus distance (necessary with A2 chart printing) which has now been checked out by a fair number of users and seems to be successful over a wider range of distances. Created using f/2.8 and f/8 aperture sets.
http://www.photoclubalpha.com/2010/08/16/adobe-lens-profile-for-16mm-f2-8-nex/
Now all I have to do is find out where to send it to Adobe (a hidden bit of info so far!).

I have been asked to make a JPEG profile - here it is:

Works well on HDR tested image, also now submitted to Adobe. Uses same test shot set, JPEG versions.

Lens profile for Sony E 35mm 1.8

When will the profile for this lens be added to LR? The 35mm F1.8 has been out for a while and it is one of the best and most popular E mount lenses for the NEX cameras. I was hoping to see it in LR5, but unfortunately it's not. I was surprised to see the profiles for the new Carl Zeiss 32mm and 12mm 'Touit' lenses that just came out last month. What does it take for a lens profile to be added? Is there a particular page where we can submit requests or is it just whenever Adobe feels like?
Thanks.

Hi,

Where are the lens profiles for newer Nikon DSLR products?

There is hardly anything for D800 and newer lenses like 24-120 f/4, 70-200 f/4, 28-300 f/3.5-5.6, etc. Also, I have Lens Profile Downloader 1.0 installed and it works, but I cannot update to 1.0.1. It refules to install:

24-120 f/4, 70-200 f/4, 28-300 f/3.5-5.6, etc. Also, I have Lens Profile Downloader 1.0 installed and it works, but I cannot update to 1.0.1. It refules to install:
There is a Adobe supplied profile in the standard install for the 28-300 (NIKON D3X (Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm f3.5-5.6 ED VR) - RAW) and for the 24-120 (NIKON D3X (Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f4G ED VR) - RAW). Those profiles will work fine for those lenses used on any Nikon body, including crop bodies. The 70-200 f/4 is too new I guess but I am sure it will show up soon. I don't have one (yet) otherwise I would have put up one already as it is trivial to generate these lens profiles yourself.

HT4101 Since upgrade of IOS, my once dependable camera connection kit will only import landscape photos from my Sony Alpha DSLR, but red exclaimation symbol only for portrait format. Any ideas why?

Since upgrade of IOS, my once dependable camera connection kit will only import landscape photos from my Sony Alpha DSLR, but red exclaimation symbol only for portrait format. Any ideas why?
I am using an ipad2 with the latest operating system upgrade. My problems started with the upgrade to v6. Before that, portrait and landscape pics were uploaded from camera with no problems.

Hi,
I'm from germany so no 'best buy' but I think I will lock around sleeve/bag for a different product with same measures. Any tip?
The clear plastic case is not what I want. I would like to use the player without such protections. I just want a sleeve to protect the player while its in my jacket/pants.
Btw, i have bought this version: Creative Zen (maybe european version?). I also doesn't seem to have your mentioned sleeve. I also couldn't find it on the website.
Anyway, thank you,
Chris

Is there a way to use the Tablet Remote to control a Sony Alpha DSLR Camera?

I own a Sony Tablet and love the ability to use it as a Remote Control. I also own a Sony Alpha DSLR...yet I can't get the remote control to control the Camera. Has anyone figured out how to do this yet? It's a little large, but would be amazing if the camera had DLNA and could automatically publish a photo on the tablet right after I took the pick...with the Tablet remote!!!
Thanks for any advice.

Hello Damon,
What is the exact model # of Sony Alpha DSLR Camera?
You can try “Learning from remote” feature if your DSLR camera is remote control capable.
Refer the following link for instructions:
http://www.kb.sony.com/selfservice/documentLink.do?externalId=C1023514
Camera should be DLNA server capable in order to access pictures from it using DLNA application in the tablet.

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.
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/lens-profile-support-lightroom-4.html

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
Schneider
Sigma
Sony
Tamron
Tokina
Zeiss
LR 5.3 adds DJI and GoPro as manufacturers for a total of 18 subfolders.

Lens Profile for Canon EF200mm f1.8L

I'm not sure if this has been answered before or not, but I am looking for a lens profile for the Canon EF 200mm f1.8L. Does such a profile exist? If not, how can I request the creation of this profile?
Thanks,
Shawn

There doesn't appear to be any available. As this would be a rare lens there would be little chance of Adobe producing one, however you can create (and share) one of your own with your camera/s.
The tool is here: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/lensprofile_creator/
Don't forget to share it!!

Manual Audio Level Controls! - Sony Alpha DSLRS (A65)

Dear Sony -I absolutely love your DSLRs. However, to use the camera as an acceptable tool for amateur/indie/professional film, manual audio level controls in video mode are a must-have. Equal Canon competitors all feature this simple leveling option for managing audio.Currently, the automatic gain control is the only option for audio recording capabilities on Sony Alpha DSLRS in video recording. While in theory OK, AGC leads to terrible problems such as unnecessarily high and distracting background noise/hiss. Filmmakers desire crisp, clear audio!For quality results using an external microhpone, manual audio levels are the only way for filmmakers to achieve decent in-camera audio to compete with Canon users. Many amateur and professional videographers are in desperate need of this function! Audio is often MORE important than the image quality of your film, although Sony seems to increasingly neglect its video DSLR users by not implementing this ability and falling short on video options (Auto-focus in Manual Mode, audio levels on HUD etc.).To keep my Sony A65 a viable option for video work - please see if anything can be done! (Should be able to be added with a firmware update to all current and existing Alpha DSLRS) Thanks!!! - Love, a filmmaker who would desperately like to keep their A65 for professional video work! (Also from "Join The Inspiration")

Though a great idea, you also have to understand that the a65 isn't as film oriented camera like other cameras.
DSLR cameras with the audio controls are designed with film making in mind, thus they have that option.
Most DSLRs (at least, back in the days) was simply a camera to take photos. If you wanted to do film, you'd buy a dedicated film recorder for that. Having video capabilities in a DSLR was a bonus.
Nowadays, it's merging, bang for buck, reaching to a boarder audience, one size fits all, etc, and unfortunately, the a65 wasn't part of that 'nowadays' era.
The a99 and a77ii, if I remember correctly, has audio controls.
A lot of the newer Sony models (mirrorless) also have audio controls, that is, the ones that a targeted towards film making and not just great photos with the bonus of great video.
Also, I would presume that a lot of 'professional' videographers will either use external mics such as on a pole, a lapel mic, etc, to capture perfect audio, or if not, at least a shotgun/boom mic attached to the camera.
When doing such, there technically shouldn't be a lot of problems with the audio quality. Of course, if those external mics are still recorded into the camera, then yeah... but if they're recorded separately and slapped on during post processing... shouldn't be any problems...
If you're relying purely on the a65 and it's AGC, then there definitely will be shortcomings here and there unfortunately.
I recently filmed my niece-in-law's wedding. I didn't have any fancy mic setups (can't afford it at this stage), and this wasn't any sort of 'professional' work, more of just something for the family (free), but the audio came out excellent. Yes, it caught ambient noise (obviously), but I don't hear any cutoffs or badly pitched noises, or anything. The loud music and people cheering on and such all came through very clearly. Sure, it's no 'professional' bitrate or anything, but at 192kbps, it did the job.
Anyways, that was off topic, but all I'm saying is, you can't expect much from a photo taking centred camera which has been slapped on with nice video capabilities unfortunately. Also, due to the a65's age, I don't think Sony's bringing out anymore updates. My advice is either get an a77ii for it's awesome AF, or if full frame is a desire, then the a99 or a mirrorless (up to you).The a99 has a controllable focus range which is something I like, that way, if you're using autofocus (yeah... what 'professional' videographer would use autofocus aye?), you won't lose focus on subjects if something goes in front/behind it.Also, the little wheel at the front really helps in allowing you to make adjustments without disrupting video or causing too much movement in the camera. Right now, I am planning on getting a RX10ii. Though I'd love to get something from the mirrorless range, it's just way out of my budget (even the RX10ii is, so there's a lot of saving to do right now also...). Anyways, good luck with your videos.

Is there a lens profile for Samyang 14mm and Canon 5D2 ?

Hi !
I'm thinking about buying a new Samyang / Rokinon / Bower etc 14mm wide angle full frame lens.
However, this lens has bad moustache distortion on stills images - not good for architecture.
Is there an Adobe lens profile for Adobe Camera Raw (Photoshop CS6 Bridge) for full frame Canon 5D2 / 3 or 1Ds 3 etc ?
It's needed for Mac - don't know if there is any difference.
Advice before I buy would be much appreciated ...

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.
