A number of people have contacted me to ask how much lens correction there is on the new Leica SL. Or, more accurately, how much lens correction there is on the new SL lens, the VARIO-ELMARIT 1:2.8-4.0/24-90mm.

Below are the comparisons for an image shot at 24mm - the uncorrected image is from AccuRaw. (The original image is courtesy of PhotographyBlog).

I'm sure you won't need me to tell you which is which(!).

(Edited 23 October to include information on how M lenses are handled.)

As usual when new Leica cameras come out, I took a quick look inside a DNG from one of Leica's new Leica SL (Typ 601) cameras, using one of the new Leica L mount lenses:

The camera is using what appears to be production software - version 1.10. The camera name shows as "LEICA SL (Typ 601)" The image data is 14-bit. There is no compression used in the DNG I looked at.  The DNG version is 1.4, with a "backward version" of 1.
