Lens profile request - Venus Optics Laowa 90mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens

[muneris]

I'm not sure if this is the proper forum to request that a new lens profile be added to Affinity Photo 2.0. This is the one: Venus Optics Laowa 90mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens.

Thanks!

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

Affinity Photo (and Photo 2) use the Lensfun library, and Serif picks up whatever lens profiles are provided by that Open Source project. So I don't think it does much good to request a new lens profile here.

You can find more about Lensfun at https://lensfun.github.io/ where you can find direct links to their database where you can download early versions of lens data, or learn how to perform your own lens calibration, and even submit your own lens calibration data to Lensfun for inclusion in the database. Or you can also request them (Lensfun) to work on it by opening a ticket. More info on that at https://lensfun.github.io/calibration/

Hey. Any updates on this? Missing the 90mm FF and the 65mm APSC, too 🙂 Does Serif maybe issue those inside the github repo? Would be nice to have them

You can check the Lensfun database to see if it's available there in a newer version of the data that Serif hasn't incorporated yet. And if so, you can download the XML file and install it.

But if Lensfun doesn't have it at all, you're only options are to request th at they (Lensfun) add it, or do the calibration yourself.
