Sony Lens Profile Requests


Recommended Posts

I own both the new Sony 16-55 F/2.8 G (SEL1655G) and Sony 70-350 F/4.5-6.3 G (SEL70350G). Unfortunately neither lens is yet supported by Affinity Photo and the 16-55 has some terrible vignetting at 16mm...

I also noticed that 2 other popular lenses I own are not supported. Could you also look into the Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC DN and Sigma 56mm F1.4 DC DN?

Hoping support comes soon!

What's the process around lens profiles anyway?

Serif pulls lens profile information from the open source Lensfun database, when the developers of that database have incorporated the lenses.

If Lensfun has the information for your lens, but Serif hasn't pulled it into Affinity Photo yet, you can add it yourself. There's a tutorial for that.

Alternatively, if Lensfun does not have the information for that, it is possible for you to generate it and give it to them to update their database. There's more information about doing that at https://lensfun.github.io/

You're welcome. Sorry it's not already there. But, as you say, a new area to explore :)

I have now added the Sony 16-55mm F/2.8 and Sony 70-350mm F/4.5-6.3 lenses to the Lensfun database. Could you please have this new database incorporated into the next update of Affinity photo?

Thanks for your efforts, which will help everyone who uses Photo and those lenses.

The actual Lensfun database goes through several iterations before reaching a production version. I'm not sure if Serif pulls from the intermediate iterations, or if they only pull from the production version. So it may be awhile before they get it.

If, however, Lensfun has already pushed out your updates to Github, you can download the Github files yourself and install them in Photo as shown in the tutorial I referenced above.
