Lens profile for Tamron 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 Di III RXD (A071) not selected automatically in Develop Persona

[PCW]

Hi. I am using Affinity Photo version 2.5.6 on a Windows 10 operating system. The problem I am having is that when opening a raw file in the Develop Persona, Affinity does not automatically detect the lens I am using. I have attached a screen shot which shows the description of the lens used in the out of camera metadata. I am using the Tamron E 28-200mm lens on a Sony ILCE-7M4 camera. This is a very popular lens and the full description of the lens on the Tamron web site is 28-200mm F/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD (Model A071). I have been able to select the lens manually in Affinity in the drop-down lens profile where it is described as “Tamron E 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 A071”. I know this may seem trivial but it would be great if something could be changed or added so that I don’t have to select that lens manually every time I develop a raw photo. Thanks for your help.

Until this gets looked at by the devs.

In the Develop Persona's Assistant Manager settings you can change the Default Lens Profile setting to Last Used, if that helps

Thanks for the suggestion.  Its a good idea and I could use this setting if processing multiple images from the Tamron lens.  My problem would be that I would forget to change the setting back when I use a different lens on the camera.  I have 3 other lenses which I use regularly on the camera.  Affinity selects the other lenses automatically.

Thanks for responding.  Raw file attached.  I hope it contains all the metadata.

Place the attached xml in the Lens Profiles folder, restart Photo and it ought to work

It worked.  Thank you so much for your help.  You have made my workflows just a little bit easier.
