Sigma f/1.4 lens and M5/M6

Hello all.

I want a 50mm lens for my M6 (1). The Canon 32mm is not available here and also is a little pricey so I decided to buy a Sigma 30/1.4. I was only worried about in camera corrections as I don't want to correct distortions for every single shot in post. Wanted to ask about that here, but I saw this and relied on experience of the poster and also others there, decided to go for the Sigma 30mm. Fortunately I encountered this on Sigma's website. It says distortions are not corrected by my M6.

So no nifty fifty. (Actually no good prime for me except 22/2.)

Do you have good news for me?

If you work with Lightroom, you will have lens correction for the Sigma. Other programs may have that too.

May THE LIGHT be with you!

If I remember correctly, I don't think the M6 (1) has "in camera" distortion correction for any lens. (Not even Canon lenses.)

The M6 does have corrections. Camera Menu 4, 4th item. Page 85 in the PDF manual.

Weird. Mine only has 3 items in the Lens aberration correction menu:

Peripheral illumination, Cromatic aberration and Diffraction.

It has no "Distortion Correction". (My M6 Mark II and M200 do, however.)
