Interesting theory ;-)
However by that logic there would be no corrections for all of the Canon
and Nikon dSLRS as well!
I think it is just like the situation with the camera profiles. Cameras and
lenses sold in the largest quantities will very likely get the most/first
attention.

I'm frankly surprised to see those Leica M lens profiles in there both for
that reason and that the modern ones hardly need correction like say a lot
of SLR zooms and wides might. For that matter the M9 firmware is applying
(vignette but not CA nor distortion) corrections for detected lenses in
firmware anyway.

Back on camera profiles there* may* be changes in which M9 ones work with
which process version (2010-2012). I need to look at this with my main PC
catalog and shall report back.



Cheers,
Geoff
