Distortion Correction ALWAYS enabled in NX1 + 16-50S

OK it's a way to make the decision, and quite possibly you are right. It's not about S vs non-S, but 16-50 vs 50-200. I would like someone with a 50-150S confirming it.

But I still don't agree with it...

I already did this which is why I stated it's only wide angle. It has nothing to do with S lenses. I said in a previous post, the option is disabled for the 16-50 PZ, the 16 2.4, 20, 12-24, none of which are S lenses. And, yes, I tried the 50-150. I didn't mention it specifically but I thought you could figure it out with the other list I'd made.

You are wrong. I DO NOT use automatic distortion correction (when available, I mean in my "old" Canon gear). I only use it when a) it's evident (let's say building photographs where there are a lot of straight lines which easily show the issue), b) I've also made other transformations like rotating or perspective ones. I prefer even slightly better image quality rather than perfect geometry you are NEVER going to notice unless you can compare in real time the photograph against your its target.

If you cared about quality, you wouldn't shoot jpegs. That makes more of a difference than the distortion correction.

And LR does not overwrite anything... because LR (like any other "serious" postprocessing software) is mainly designed to work with raws. And RAWs, I expect, will remain free of ANY kind of correction for ever and ever. As I've previously said, the opposite decision would be plain nonsense.

I meant "override", not overwrite. I suspect auto correction fixed my typo (that's a bit of a joke). Sorry for the confusion. I know LR doesn't overwrite.

But as I said in other post, the current problem with LR is that it still does not include profiles for S lenses.

The current problem with Lightroom is that it isn't that great. It may be for certain brands but the ones I shoot-including Samsung-are not among them. I switched to a workflow that eliminates LR and Camera RAW. I still use Photoshop with the 16 bit TIFFS I create from the RAW files.
