I hired a Sigma 150-600 Contemporary for a weekend and in the Develop Module checking 'Enable Profile Corrections' correctly identified the lens.

Happy with the hire I purchased a lens of my own. Now checking 'Enable Profile Corrections' tells me LR is 'Unable to locate a matching profile automatically'. As soon as I select Sigma as the Make it identifies the lens.

It's not a huge issue but I'm bugged that LR identified an older copy of the lens but not my new one. I'm not aware of anything I can do to help LR automatically identify the lens.

Am I missing something ?

Thanks

Pete

Select the lens pofile in the Lens Corrections panel, then go back up to the "Setup" box (just below the "Enable Profile Corrections" box), use the up/down arrows and click on "Save New Lens Profile Defaults". After that the profile should be automatically selected when you enable the lens profile corrections.

Jim's solution is perfect (as always). It might also be that there was a firmware update somewhere along the line that included the extra metadata LR needs to be able to perfectly identify the lens.
