I would say that they are the most devoted of all Leica users and the R adapter for the typ 240 and these profiles are for them How much correction do you think the S lenses need either but those little tweaks have been made available. Once again if you need to correct images from your particular lenses, start with a similar current lens profile and then you can edit for yourself to exactly what you want. This works the same as the lens correction controls in Photoshop. You get an overlaid grid and real time preview of the effects that you are applying, Do it once and save as your default if you like. Give it a try for yourself. I would not expect that there will be any more profiles added except where new lenses are released of course. Do you have the 16-18-21? Leica does not correct differently for each individual focal length there either, it only records that focal length in EXIF. There is some (low level) complex variable distortion and no one correction could possibly be perfect.
