Sigma has been added to Camera Raw, but not Lightroom yet from what I see...
The Sigma 20-200 profile is now included with the most recent LR Classic update, as of yesterday (for me).
I tested it out for distortion and it's certainly better than the profile made available by Sigma. But at 20mm it's still not perfect. Based on straight-on architectural images, there is a slight but noticeable amount of barrel affecting the corners, but 90% of the image is very good, and any slight crops will eliminate it. The distortion at 20mm will be hard to notice in shots of buildings taken at an oblique angle. This is a non-issue for all other genres, including landscape, travel & street. By 24mm and higher the corner distortion is well corrected, not an issue at all for me.

Well, I replaced the laptop. I installed a ton of apps, including Lightroom Classic. So this morning I tried to find the profile for the Sigma 20-200 in Lightroom, but it’s not there. It does show up on Adobe’s site that lists supported lenses though. Not sure if I just missed something, or it just really isn’t there yet.The Sigma 20-200 profile is now included with the most recent LR Classic update, as of yesterday (for me).

Lightroom had a new update and the profile for this lens is now included! photos at the 20mm look so much better now.

Seems like some kind of artifacting going on in the bare tree branches behind/above that tortured looking tree on the right. In the first shot.

cross posted from the Tamron 25-200 thread:
I was curious as how the distortion at 20mm on the Sigma compares with that of the Sony 20-70 at 20mm. Anyone have a clue?

Sorry I can't make that comparison, but can share some observation and examples. The short story is at 20mm, and with no software corrections, the distortion can be quite noticeable. Happily Lightroom Classic now has the lens profile available, and that does help quite a lot. Here's one without the lens profile:

@mnscott The first photo looks like a 'fun house' with how the doors are distorted. The Lightroom Classic corrections did fantastic! I was under the impression corrections were only good enough for landscape and genres that relied less on straight lines. But these examples show it's quite usable for indoor too. Thank you for sharing the comparisons.

I’m impressed and pleased with the results too. I did notice though that the images I posted lost a little sharpness on the forum. They look quite sharp otherwise. Maybe I’m missing a trick for posting images here.
