My RF 100-400mm F5.6-8 is due to arrive today, and I can't wait to try it out! I'm curious what people are doing about the lack of a lens profile for Raw processing in PS/LR? Is there a different lens profile that works for it? Or are you correcting manually with the Distortion, Defringe, and Vignetting sliders? Or is the lens good enough that no correction is needed?

I'd rather not mess around with DPP if at all possible.

Thanks for the help!

Bad news, as far as I have seen with other lenses, you can't expect profiles from the other companies for a month or two.  From my personal experience, DxO is pretty quick with rolling out new profiles (maybe about one month from first shipping), and Adobe seems slower.

BTW, I have stopped using Adobe Camera RAW, and it is so bad. I have compared it repeatedly to DxO with DeepPrime, and it loses in terms of detail, and the noise is about 2 to 3 stops worse.

Some people have reported using a "close lens" and then tweaking it if the software will allow using the wrong lens profile.  I would just stick with DPP4, as painful as that can be, until your favorite software (hopefully not Adobe RAW) has a profile.
