I use DXO Photolab as my RAW editor; provides DXOMARK's Body/Lens Database for RAW auto-correction. Interestingly though, no 10mm f/3.5 Fisheye.

Darktable's Body/Lens Correction is limited [for this niche feature] BUT look what I found on the first row below.

A quick review, no new Samsung Lenses e.g. 16-50 S f/2-2.8, big brother 50-150 S f/2.8, and older 18mm-200 Movie Pro.

I found this on the Darktable Feature Page:

"lens defect correction using lensfun"--

Yep, they use the lensfun database, so taking the appropriate imageset and other calibration info and submitting it to lensfun will get your lens added. Kind of an involved process though. Here is a how to of sorts: https://pixls.us/articles/create-lens-calibration-data-for-lensfun/
