Title: User created lens profiles
Post by: jeorf on January 01, 2012, 04:35:29 pm: I borrowed a friend's old Nikon 24-85 2.8-4.0 yesterday and don't see a lens profile for it.
2 questions: I'm pretty sure that when I started with LR, at some point in my reading, I saw, "You can look here ... to find profiles that other users have created" and I'm wondering if I imagined that or where I can find it (searched for too long today). OR Does anyone know if there's a lens profile that would work pretty well for this lens?

Many thanks.

If you have Photoshop CS5, you can also search for lens profiles from the Lens Correction filter.
