Leica SL3 / SL2-S – Lens Profile Detected but Distortion Not Corrected (24-90mm)

I’m experiencing an issue in Capture One Pro 16.6.0.34 with DNG files from the Leica SL3 and SL2-S when using the Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24–90mm f/2.8–4 ASPH lens.
Although the correct lens profile is automatically detected, distortion correction is not applied—especially noticeable at 24mm, where the effect is quite pronounced. This behavior started after the most recent firmware updates for both cameras.
I’ve discussed the issue with your support team, who confirmed that this might be expected behavior due to how recent Leica DNGs are handled. He suggested using a manual distortion correction and saving it as a preset, which I appreciate—but this is still a disruptive workaround when editing hundreds of images in a professional workflow.
I hope this can be improved in future updates to ensure automatic corrections are applied as before. It would make a real difference in daily work.


Thank you for your attention.
