Affinity photo raw not recognizing mft panasonic lens 100-300

[robert_ve3vpl]

I use several Olympus MFT bodies/lenses but also have a couple of Panasonic lenses, 12-60/3.5-5.6 and 100-300/4.0-5.6

On both Photo V1 and V2, when opening the RAW files, the apps automatically find the profile for the 12-60 but do not automatically find the profile for the 100-300. I have to manually select its profile.

Both apps find all Olympus lens profiles automatically.

Has anyone else had this issue?

Thanks, Robert

Hello Robert,

Same issue, no solution yet. I use a Panasonic G90  body with a Panasonic  H-FSA 14-140mm and the Panasonic H-FSA 100-300. The 14-140 is recognised, the 100-300 is not recognised and I too have to manually select this lens.

Can you post a raw file and also advise whether it is the Mk 1 or 2 of that lens?

[robert_ve3vpl]

It is the Mark II version and in this case was shot using the E-M1 Mark 2. ORF file is attached. 

 

Thanks,

Robert

Dunno the lens but that's a fine choice of camera

I'll do my best

The lensfun data is based on the Mk1 however it's supposed to be the same optical design as the mk 2 so this should work. The xml has comments showing what I've done

Lumix100-300.xml

Ok I think I found the problem.

Looking at your file Robert I think you are shooting with the Lumix G Vario H-FSA 100-300/F4.0-5.6 II, as do I.
So this is the version II of this lens. 
In the lens drop down there is only one 100-300mm. I guess  it's the version "I" of this lens, which is called Lumix G Vario H-FS 100-300. For a number of other Lumix lenses the drop-down menu lists as well the standard versions as the versions II, but not for this lens. 

I don't know if the lens distortion/vignetting  etc. are different for those lenses, but I think that's probably the reason that this lens doesn't pop-up automatically, the exif data name is different from the version I.

Edit:

Oeps David, my post did cross yours. However I don't understand how to get the right lens to show up in the lens-drop down. I see your xml file, but how do I get that into the database of Affinity photo ?

[robert_ve3vpl]

Thanks to both of you. I should have noticed that the existing drop down showed the Mark 1. But I don't notice a lot of things.

(and yes, it's a nice camera, I've had it a couple of months now)

Thanks very much,

Robert

Yes, there's an older Affinity (from version 1.5?) tutorial that describes that. I just did it, worked like a charm.

I don't know if they are available anywhere else but I access them here http://www.miguelboto.com/affinity/photo/video-tutorials/

Thank you both as well. 

Placed the .xml file and now it's working fine !
