Re: RF 100-400mm F5.6-8 Adobe PS/LR Lens Profile?

I have the lens on order. Don't know when I will receive it. So of course I cannot speak of practical experience with that particular lens. However in general I find tele(zooms) rarely has so much distortion that lens profile is needed for correction. Partly because distortion for teles generally are smaller than for wideangle lenses, but also because the motives I do with tele lenses rarely are sensitive to a little distortion. So usually I don't apply lens distortion correction to my tele-shots at all.

As for vignette I find it easy to correct manually. And even when I have it corrected by lens profile, I often add vignette in post because I like to close the corners to create a more harmonic or "balanced" look.

So personally, I wouldn't worry at all
