Lightroom Lens Profile for Meike 50mm f1.7 on a Sony A7RII

Posted on February 12, 2019April 6, 2019 by mikeyroy

This is a lens profile for the Meike 50mm f1.7 lens on the Sony A7RII that I created using Adobe Lens Profile Creator 1.0.4.

To use it you will need to add LensTagger to Lightroom. Why? It’s a manual lens that transmits no metadata to the camera to identify it. You can’t edit metadata directly in Lightroom, and to apply a lens profile, Lightroom needs to locate the lens name in the metadata. The lens name should be applied with Lenstagger as “Meike 50mm f1.7”.

Note: After Lenstagger has run, if the metadata for “Lens” does not appear in the Lightroom Metadata Panel in Library view, right click on the image(s) and choose Metadata > Read Metadata.

Place the .lcp file at C:\Users{UserName}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\
–OR–
Macintosh HD/Users/{UserName}/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles/

Once the lens profile is added to Lightroom and the metadata is updated, go to Lens Corrections panel, change Make to Sony and the Meike lens should be applied automatically.

If you try to run it a second time, and get an error, go into Task Manager and kill the exiftool task, then you should be able to run LensTagger again.
