Automatic lens corrections not working

[BudgetEagle]

Affinity Photo 2.5.5 from the Microsoft store on win11 pro x64.

Source cameras : Nikon Z6, ZF, Z8

Lenses with issues tried :

70-180 2.8 nikkor ( lacks a lens profile entirely however the original version of the lens, the Tamron A056 is there ) 
180-600 nikkor ( This one lacks a lens profile entirely - DSC_5258.NEF ) 

sony 1.4 24mm GM  ( adapted to Z, however the exif data shows up correctly yet it does not correct )
sony 1.4 35mm GM ( adapted to Z, however the exif data shows up correctly yet it does not correct  DSC_3716.NEF)

On everything I try, Affinity photo 2

1.) says "The best lens profile has been selected" and the dropdown is empty or says (none)

2.) picks the wrong lens ( see DSC_7012.NEF - it should be going to either no lens, or the tamron version of the same lens )

A NEF file shot on a 70-180mm gets auto detected as a KMZ Helios-44 1:2   ( look at NEF file DSC_7012.NEF attached )

3.) says its broken/can't select it automatically despite the lens existing in the database and it being correctly marked in EXIF ( DSC_3716.NEF with the 35mm 1.4 GM ) 

 

 

I understand the 180-600 has no profile yet, but the other lenses should be able to automagically apply distortion corrections out of box.

Or there should be a user-declared lookup table so that even if it can't pick up an adapted lens all the way, it can read any specified value in the exif and auto-apply a certain correction

Hi @BudgetEagle,

I've logged these Lens correct auto detect issues with the developers. 👍

Have you got a NEF file with this lens model in the EXIF data just so I can log this separately?

Try this lens profile, it uses the Tamron data and persuades PhotoV1 to select the lens automatically for your NIKKOR Z 70-180mm f/2.8 using DSC_7012.NEF, hopefully it'll work on V2

Attached is a image shot with an adapted 24 GM sony 1.4 using the ETZ megadap adapter on my nikon. ( DSC_0047.NEF ) 

 

There are some other lenses I would like to see profiles added for that you don't have yet.

Tamron Nikon Z 28-75 G2 ,

nikon 26mm 2.8 Z  , 

viltrox 20mm 2.8 Z,

viltrox 35mm 1.8 for Z,   

meike 85mm 1.4 for Z,

meike 85mm 1.8 for Z,

85mm 1.2 nikkor Z,

50mm 1.2 nikkor Z,

 

Affinity is really out of date when it comes to lens profiles on the nikon side of things. I'll supply some NEF sample files when I can but I don't own/plan to own most of these lenses.

This seems to work for now - although I would prefer this be out of the box functionality instead.

Here is a NEF file from the viltrox 20mm 2.8 for Z @NathanC

 

Similar to the others it shows up as an error, but the lens model is recorded correctly.

No it isn't, it should show Viltrox AF 20mm f/2.8 Z
Also, the Lens Make field is blank which leads me to think that there is a fault in the hardware
It can be fixed with a hack or two but ....., see what Serif comes up with

It depends on the tool. 

Windows detail window shows nothing but it was 20mm,  however exifglass shows the correct lens but its not in the same line/area as the other lenses as it usually shows up.

I have the same issue on the tamron 28-75 G2 for nikon Z mount ;  ; I just purchased it over the weekend. 

Here are some sample files so you can replicate the issue. 

DSC_1897.NEFDSC_1896.NEFDSC_1898.NEF

Correction for the Tamron 28-75 G2 has been in lensfun since Sep 19, 2023 so it should be in your Photo database but Photo cannot identify it
I suggest opening a raw file then typing 28-75 into the profile box to see the options
The A063 lens should appear as in the image below so use that until Serif fixes the problem and it's automatically selected
The distortion correction is quite pronounced and the vignetting correction is useful so it's worth doing even if tedious, you can add the lens to the ♥Favourites

Yes - I've been doing this so far, but I hope serif adds it in so it can be done automatically. 

 

@NathanC Can you verify/confirm/something that the ticket has been logged for this new lens? Thank you.
