Lens Correction not Applied on Import
When I import RAW files from both my Canon 5Ds and my Canon 6D Capture one always applies the generic lens profile and does nothing. Is this the way it is supposed to work? if so how on earth do I change that?
My two primary lenses are the Sigma 35mm f1.4 ART and the Sigma 70-200 f2.8 Sport. This being said it does not apply the correction for my Canon 24mm f2.8 either so it is not a third party lens problem.
Any advice would be very welcomed at this point.
UPDATE: Just realized that the Canon 24mm f2.8 is not even supported LOL!
Lens support is so bad it hurts! THIS LENS WAS RELEASED IN 1988! And is a standard prime lens made by CANON the largest camera company in the world. Gobsmacked.

Can't you use the Manufaturer Profile which uses the correction embedded in the image file, if available.
After import are you seeing this option in the Lens correction panel Profile drop down list?0 -
Some camera manufacturers embed camera profiles in the raw data, if this is the case for your camera then what gb said is correct, Manufacturer profile will be selected by Capture One. If not then I understand that C1 will use a camera profile embedded into C1, but if no profile exists for that lens, then a generic profile will be used. I am not sure what C1 does with respect to generic profiles or if it does some analysis of the picture to try and fix lens problems, but there is the option to manually correct some aspects like distortion, vignette and chromatic aberration.
I suppose at the end of the day, the aim is to create an aesthetically pleasing image, so I generally don't get too concerned if the lens profile is not available, I look at the picture and if it looks distorted then I use the distortion slider to fix it, it it has vignette then I fix it, etc. When I used Lightroom I had to do exactly the same thing as Adobe profiles didn't always fix all issues.
If you want to correct many pictures at once then it is possible to create a user preset to apply the same correction settings to many pictures.
I agree that lens support within C1 is not the greatest, but in my experience it is not the end of the world, as long as the image I produce looks good then I am happy.
If lens profiles are a massive issue for you then you could invest in DxO Photolab and do some amount of pre-processing of the image in DxO, then bring into C1 for final processing.

Michael Goodwin,
I share your pain.
I have a Canon 600mm FD lens from 1983 that is not supported at all along with some other FD lenses that are even older.
Obviously all of these pre-date Capture One by some years and are not even electronic lenses but hey - what the hell?
I'm sure that someone could find some corrections for them (and the 2x extender that works with some of them AND the lens adapter that allow me to use them with an EOS camera.
Given that the C1 applications has origins based on the needs of a camera manufacturer and its own products I don't find it entirely unsurprising that the extensive testing they deploy for those lens third party lenses has not covered every lens that ever existed. I guess the decisions about whether to test and support a particular lens are based on popularity amongst the C1 user base, requests for support, availability for testing, the competence (for modern lenses) of the Manufacturer's profile (probably mostly pretty good these days compared to expectations) and the consistency of the samples used for testing, without which no consistent correction can be readily defined.
You may have noticed that there is a specific (pinned) thread related to lens support request suggestions so it may be a good idea to add your suggestions to that, at least for the Sigma lenses and make it easier for the C1 team to see what is becoming popular with users and how many people feel that certain lenses are not currently fit for purpose without correction of using only the manufacturers correction.
I would, of course, add my old lenses ... but have no expectation that anyone would consider suggesting them to be anything more than trolling.
ETA:
Sigma lenses with names that sound similar to the two you listed are listed in the Supported Lens category. Whether they are lenses that are indeed the same as your lenses is open to question. Sigma (and others) have produced many similarly names lenses over the years. You could try those lenses anyway to see they have the desired effect. Also check that you have the lens tool set to apply corrections. (The feature can be turned off.)
If you can confirm both of thse things but still see no results that use teh "Submit a request" options on the support pages to create a personalised Support Case with the C1 Support team.
