Request: PCE/TSE Lens Profiles

Hi,

I bet many people would benefit from the inclusion of Canon TS-E & Nikon PC-E lenses. The extended image circle can be captured with on a MFDB via an Alpa adapter as seen here:

Combined with the current ability to input XY shift amounts, this would be a great improvement in accuracy for architectural photographers.

Thanks for considering - cheers!

  Hi Alan - just a reminder, this is a User to User forum.
  
  The phase team checks it from time to time, but if this is a serious request, you're going to want to go here: https://www.phaseone.com/en/SupportMain ... pport.aspx to submit a support case, and mark it as a "feature request".
  
  That said, if you're doing camera movements, you really don't need a lens profile. It wouldn't help at all because a lens profile created by Phase can't deal with every single adjustment situation you might make with rise/fall/tilts etc.
  
  You need to get yourself an LCC card (they're like $10 USD from your nearest medium format system dealer), and then you can do the corrections yourself (and bonus - the LCC process helps to correct color casts in addition to distortions).
  
  Check it out: http://help.phaseone.com/en/CO7/Editing ... ction.aspx (article references v7 of Capture One, but the process hasn't really changed).

  Thanks for the reminder Brian. Hopefully other users who'd find this useful will see this and add to the request.
  
  While LCC corrections do help these lenses with color/falloff, it's not as critical as with, say Schneider Digitars. LCC doesn't do anything for distortion.
  
  The retrofocus design of the PCE/TSE lenses means that they have barrel distortion. The "Generic" profile in C1 works to a degree, I'm just pointing out that more accuracy would be better!
