LR Lens profiles.

Operating System

1. Windows 10

I have noticed for several of my lenses that the lens profile that is detected by LR is not correct. I shoot in RAW. The images are .DNG. But, for instance, My Tamron 150-600 G2 isn't detected for when editing. Is there a way to "re-populate" this menu for lack of a better way of putting it?

The drop down menu is pretty much worthless or I would gladly pick my lens and hopefully save it. Any help would be most appreciated.

Select the lens, then save it as the new lens default.

Thanks, Johan.
I would love to, but none of the options are my lens. And the Tamron options are not even close to my long lens.

So you mean there is no profile (yet)? Then there is nothing you can do, except creating your own profile. https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/digital-negative.html#Adobe_Lens_Profile_Creator

Thanks. I find it odd that a common lens is not listed. I am not using some obscure off market lens. But thanks for your answers, Johan

Have you checked the official supported lens list?

I see there are a few Tamron 150-600 G2s listed there ... but it also depends on the camera mount.

prbimages, thank you very much. I have checked there previously and my lens is listed. (I pasted below)

TAMRON SP 150-600mm F5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 A022N But I cannot for the life of me get it to choose this lens. In fact, when I choose Profile Correction, LR chooses a Tamron Di 28-70mm, f2.8. Not even close on any front to the lens I am using. Also, I would not be considered an expert. But I have been using LR for about 4 years, so I am pretty good at it. But this is a real stumper. I have this issue with a very nice Nikon lens, Nikkor 17-55mm, 2.8. It too is not recognized.

So can you manually choose this lens? That is what I asked. If you can, then do so and then click on 'Setup' and choose 'Save New Lens Profile Default'

Are you sure you're working with a RAW file? You said DNG but maybe it is a linear DNG, bitmap and not RAW. LR will will _not_ provide a list of the same lens profiles when editing bitmap, non-RAW files. I've run into this many times when accidentally trying to edit one of my JPGs from a RAW+JPG pair. It's happened enough that I now know when the lens lists are all wrong that I'm not working on an ARW or NEF file.
