I have SO many pages to catch up on and no time just now to do so.
I wanted however to share my CornerFix experience with my Contax G21 f/2.8 converted to LM using the Hawks DIY kit.
I had reasonable success correcting its colour smearing when using Capture One Pro with M9 DNG files (creating an LCC file correction), however the lens performance on M240 was much worse and I could not achieve satisfactory correction in C1 Pro. The situation was similar in LR.
I've just used CornerFix for the first time and I am getting acceptable corrections now. The CF lens profile was created using the G21 at f8, at extreme close range to give full-frame coverage using the ColorChecker Passport grey card, with +2 EV set, as suggested.
Below is a link to the G21 colour profile file.
CornerFix lens profile for LM-converted Contax G21f/2.8 (at f8, +2EV, gray card)
Here are three files for comparison. All of the DNGs were shot compressed. CornerFix prefers uncompressed DNGs and that's something to try next.
Greetings to all

I almost picked up a Leica M 28mm 1.4 in a trade 6 months ago... I've debated dipping my toes back in RF photography for 10 years...
Call me an independent, willing to vote (use) for both candidates (cameras)! 🤔👍🏻

Some recent street-art, and other, shots from a visit to Brisbane, the capital of Queensland.
These all taken on M240 with goggled Summicron 35 8-element lens.

And lastly, two very different aspects of warfare, or rather vicious public entertainment, and warfare (full details of the first one are in Flickr):
'Secutor' gladiator helmet in bronze by David M, on Flickr
Bridge of HMAS Diamantina by David M, on Flickr
...I'm off travelling again tomorrow to an annual visit to the Australian round of the motorcycle world Grand Prix championship. (Last year I restricted myself to taking infrared shots of the racing using a converted Ricoh GXR; this year I'm reverting to a Canon DSLR).
When I return, I intend to backtrack on this thread properly and enjoy and comment on many missed photos. In comparison, I have largely given up posting to the FM Pentax K-1 thread since it's so dead!

Yep that's very true! If you're willing to utilize a bellows system it can be quite a capable platform. Unfortunately not everyone is as willing (I am though. I need to get one!)
