The lens profile for - Nikon AF-S Nikkor 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR - seems to be missing from your drop down list in the Develop Persona, so will you be adding this profile to Affinity Photo 2 because it has been over 5 year since the release date of this popular lens?

Hi @Stephen Beaver and welcome to the forums,

It appears in the list for me... are you on Mac or Windows?

I have been through the list more then 10 times now, and it is not listed, on my PC, however the 300mm PF is listed but NO, 500mm

It's possible it's just missing from the Windows version of Photo though it seems a little odd if it is... This is where it sits in the list on macOS but if it's not there then as @David in Яuislip has mentioned, you can simply add the .xml file he's attached.

A bit more, the lensfun file only contains vignetting correction. If you download the Adobe DNG Converter you will have access to these files:

NIKON CORPORATION (Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f5.6 PF ED VR +1.4x) - RAW.lcp
NIKON CORPORATION (Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f5.6 PF ED VR +1.7x) - RAW.lcp
NIKON CORPORATION (Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f5.6 PF ED VR +2.0x) - RAW.lcp
NIKON CORPORATION (Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f5.6 PF ED VR) - RAW.lcp

which contain distortion corrections

Strange as it's been in lensfun since Apr 5, 2022

Try placing this xml into your lens profile folder

NikonAF-S500mmf5.6E_PF_ED_VR.xml 1.42 kB · 1 download

I have downloaded the file, but I am struggling to find where the lens profile folder is in my program files on c/ drive because I can not find any listing for Serif or Affinity in the there can this file be added with the software itself when opened?

I am not sure why it was missing!

During my trial of V2 I noticed a missing lens and asked whether there were any more


Looks like you found another, at least the Macs have it

Yes, I can confirm - this lens is missing in the Win version for some reason.

It's missing because the quality procedure pertaining to lensfun imports is inadequate
It's simple to know how many lenses are involved in a data dump from lensfun
Then the xml data gets binaryised into the lens-correction-data.dat (windows) file
Then it should be checked for completeness but this hasn't happened
How can Windows lens scope be different from Mac?

Checking the current V2 list of supported Lenses, this lens is not currently listed - 

Therefore I am more surprised by it's inclusion within the macOS retail version, rather than it not being available in Windows retail.

However, as Walt has mentioned, Lensfun has been updated within version 2.2 and therefore the lens will be available on both Windows and macOS :)

The Nikon 500mm PF is a great lens with minimum distortion according to Nikon's MTF chart so I was not concerned that this lens was not listed because the images it produces are very impressive.

Maybe that's why it's not on the list, because it doesn't need correction at all 🙂
