The point being there are significantly less profiles for M lenses that sold in significantly higher volumes, are still current, etc. Whereas the effort ( resource, work, whatever) is being put into making profiles for lenses that are now otherwise unsupported, for a plan to fit all M Type 240 cameras with R lenses, which is not available and probably will not be for 6 months. I find that a waste. A ridiculous waste. Frank Filippone Red735i at verizon.net Cheer up Frank are you having a glass half empty day? ;-) In fact there are 22 lens profiles in there for Leica M lenses. That includes all of the exotics, even the new APO 50 Summicron ASPH although I don't know how you would correct that one! The single current lens not included is the Tri Elmar 16-18-21 and Leica Camera themselves do not correct that one for individual focal lengths in firmware. Of course the R lenses are likely to be used on the new M typ 240 when it arrives too. Note that you can apply any lens profile to any shot so for example the profiles for the R lenses can be used by people who have adapted them for dSLRs as well.
