New Sony lens support

I cannot find a selection for lens support so I hope this request will be logged. The lens in question is their FE 70-200 F4 Macro G OSS II. As with other new Sony lenses, like the 20-70 G for which you have created a profile, they apply a range of corrections to keep the weight down, and as a Capture One profile must be more accurate than the generic versions (otherwise why create them?) please add this to your list.

  Thanks for the feedback, we value your input and strive to be transparent about known bugs and future camera support. However, we are not quite there yet for lens support.
  Our goal is to support as many lenses as possible, and we use in-app data to determine which are in high demand. Even if your lens does not have a dedicated profile designed by our engineers, you can still achieve great results using Capture One’s powerful lens correction tools with a Generic or Manufacturer profile: Working with an unlisted lens profile.
  Since this is not currently considered a feature or a camera request, I will move this post to the Gear Talk topic

  Thanks SFA. However, I am not suggesting manufacturers can’t provide an effective generic profile, rather than the very large numbers of lenses from the major manufacturers that C1 has profiled surely indicates that there must be some benefit (perhaps if C1 handles processing in a significantly different way to other processors) and that includes my 200-600 and well as the 20-70. I cannot comment on the mechanics of creating a profile and agree that wider lenses may well have more extreme corrections, and of course longer lenses that can use teleconverters will need a custom profile if the generic cannot accommodate that combination. As the new 70-200 is compatible with a teleconverter, and if my supposition is correct, why is it ruled out? Finally, my lenses to my amateur’s eyes do not have any issues.

  Thanks for your thoughtful comments SFA, I see you put a lot of effort into commenting on a variety of posts. I will give a close look at the two profiles for my two Sony lenses that have them, but as I am not a pixel peeper I doubt I would find any difference even if present.
