Lightroom 5.7 adds profiles for Voigtlander lenses!

[MikeEvangelist]

What a nice surprise this was. I'd previously made my own profile for the VC 12mm, but could never get it quite right.

I am downloading it.

Does the profile work though?

Here's a snapshot with the VC 12mm ƒ5.6 (on the a7S), with and without the profile. Looks pretty good to me.

Yes works pretty well with the A7s Also works well with the CV 21/1.8 asph and the CV35/1.2 asph

I just did a quick test with the new Voigtlander 21 Ultron Lightroom profiles. Vignetting is corrected (as well as some extremely light distortion correction), however the resulting files show bizarre arcs/rings in the extreme corners. These arcs were not present in the originals taken with the a7r. Here are two before and after upper left corner crops:

Very strange. Is it the same on all four corners?

It seems less pronounced in the bottom corners (especially the bottom right). But the artifacts are quite visible in both upper left and upper right corners on every image I've tested. And it's definitely NOT caused by a filter on my end.

Thanks, Mike!

I will run some of my pics through it and check it soon. This is so very useful! :thumbup:

This (new profile applied) is way nicer than what I could do before still it is going to be a problem with the A7r.

A7r, Cosina 12/5.6, LR 5.7 profile applied

Yes I can reproduce this with the A7s and Cv 21/1.8 I can see it in all corners. without profile it is not there. Somehow Adobe need to be informed of the problem

Mike:
The 12mm looks very good. How do corners look at infinity on the A7S?

I went out to shoot a couple tests, but it turned cloudy and too windy. Trees wouldn't sit still, so I couldn't get anything useful. If the sun ever comes back, I'll try again.

Mike:

If Minnesota is anything like New England (and based on a trip I made to Minneapolis it's more so) you won't be seeing a day like that until early May. But if you do get out I'd love to see the results.

Painfully close to the truth!
