Canon RF 85mm f/1.2 L USM announced
#14
Nikon also was "not in the habit", but for their mirrorless lenses they now are in the habit. I already suspected what you said about Canon.  Maybe I'll check - on DPR are enough RAWs to download and compare with and without corrections. 

For mirrorless at least Nikon chose a new paradigm. 

And they already had the Nikon 1 system and could study lens corrections... On first thought I didn't care much about software corrections. On second thought there are a lot of downsides: Nikon puts the correction in the lenses, but favors Adobe and their own RAW converter with new lenses. C1 i.e. so far shows only one Z lens (and this is the "worst" 24-70/4 which really needs SW correction). So, first I'd pay premium prices for a new lens and second I have to invest some time to find correction settings because Phase One's programmers are not the fastest with new lenses.

15 minutes later: I downloaded 5 images with some straight lines at their borders. I tried with and without lens-profile. Very close to nothing changes, straight lines stay straight, no matter if 28, 50 or 70 mm. That's exactly what i expected from Nikon, but the cruel reality is: I can buy a lens which is sharp but needs a lot of SW help to show straight lines. And it doesn't matter if it's the f/2.8 or f/4 version of their 24-70. I feel slightly betrayed and don't appreciate this way.
