And also thank you for supporting this 3 versions of PhotoLab

I agree, this is awesome!
Thanks so much for the ongoing updates. I would really like to know what the “minor bug fixes and improvements” are, as there are always particular fixes I’m looking for. With new releases such as PL7, I won’t upgrade until I know that certain problems have been fixed. I can’t simply test every minor release and hope for the best. In some cases I’ve waited years for promised fixes that eventually arrived but were never documented in the release notes (or announced by tech support).

It would help to know the fixes as Sony E lenses now read distance but support didn’t know when I checked with them !
Hello,
Are you planning to add the Tamron 150-500 Z mount in this December or planned for next year?
Hello,
@volsi , we will plan the Tamron 150-500 Z in the first quarter of 2024.
@John7 , adding focusing distance to all Sony (on the A7, A1, A9 range) is in progress, it just requires a bit more work than I expected.

Profile - Marie - DxO Forums My E distance looked to be working (last month) and when I queried with support, (as no notification that it had been done!) they said all the lenses were still being worked on. As far as I could see with the last build all of them were getting automatic focus distance as the manual correction was missing. I just looked at the new build (94) focusing distance isn’t working an most of my lenses. BUT they are working with the a6700 unless this is a bug and the focus is blocked as with the last build.

I was surprised to find out that the Samyang AF 75mm F1.8 for Sony FE is not supported. 
Please add it! It’s one of my favourite lenses.
Looking at Sony cameras I see they have been reading focusing distance from at least the ILME-FX30. Clearly the problem that lead to focusing being removed was sorted some time ago its the amended camera data that needed.
May I kindly renew my request for the
- HD Pentax-DA 10-17mm F3.5-4.5 Fish-Eye ED
Being an affordable yet capable ultra-wide option with even some close-up potential, this lens is used and loved by many Pentaxians. Given that the earlier smc-coated iteration has its own module, it grates a little that the HD-update is not covered. Doing the calibrations for this one and offering a module, to my knowledge, would bring DxO to 100 per cent coverage of in-production original Pentax glass - now, how does that sound?
Any chance that might happen anytime soon? Any hope or roadmap inclusion appreciated.

And while on the subject of Pentax lenses, could I suggest modules for the HD Pentax-DA 1.4x AW AF Rear Converter with the most popular K-mount telephoto lenses:
- HD Pentax-D FA 150-450mm F4.5-5.6 ED DC AW
- SMC Pentax-DA* 300mm F4 ED [IF] SDM
- HD Pentax-D FA 100mm F2.8 ED AW Macro
(There are modules for each lens, but not with the teleconverter.)
The DA*300 + TC combination is particularly popular, especially with the K-3iii, in the absence of current model longer primes in K-mount.
This would be consistent with the support DxO provides for the most popular teleconverter/telephoto lens combinations for Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Panasonic, Olympus, Leica and Sigma cameras.

Oh yes, the HD Pentax DA Rear Converter - how could I forget about that one, silly me? Definitely a serious piece of current optics that is widely used and highly valued by Pentaxians. Getting full DxO support for it would be a long-cherished dream come true for many in the community, especially in combination with the lenses listed.

about Pentax, the K-3 MKIII Monochrome body is selling very well, could you please support its RAW files (request already made by other users since May)
thank you

The IRIX 11mm/f4 with Nikon-Mount is supported for the Z9, but not for the Z8. Same Problem with IRIX 150mm/f2.8.
What is the Problem?
DxO claims that they need both actual lens and actual body to produce the optical module… so file a request for a combo and wait till it will be produced… meanwhile you can, for example, represent your R8 raws to DxO PL as R9 raws and use the existing modules.

Sorry, I don’t think so. If that was true, DxO would have a lot of work to do. You would need every lens for every camera mount to create many new profiles when a new camera comes out.
When the Z9 profile appeared, all previously supported lenses with a Nikon mount were immediately supported for the Z9.
As they do not own the gear used there would no way of testing every lense and camera together.
Can you explain the procedure of representing a non supported lens as another supported one?
neither do I - but I am talking about what DxO claims … they do claim publicly ( by all means do correct me if I wrong by pointing to DxO on record statement to the contrary ) that each combo is actually physically tested by human beings
modify camera model with exiftool, if by any chance your raw has that exif tag non-modify-able by exiftool then convert to DNG ( non linear, not lossy compressed ) with Adobe DNG converter ( make sure makernotes tags were transferred just in case ) and change camera model in that DNG and feed it to DxO PL

you do not need to own the gear if you can rent the gear … as I noted , “I am talking about what DxO claims” … not what I believe in
for example DxO Labs adds nearly 1,700 new Optics Modules to its suite of editing programs: Digital Photography Review
DxO Labs says ‘Every camera and lens has two stages of testing; the measurement stage and the validation stage.’ During the measurement stage, camera and lens combinations are tested to see what kind of corrections should be applied in the code of DxO Labs’s software. From there, the finished Optics Modules are tested in the validation testing lab to ensure optimal results.
DxO Labs says the validation process ‘can generate anywhere from around 300 to over 1,000 images depending on the hardware.
1700 modules x 300 ( min ) raw shots = 0.5m raw files … a cool ~20Tb of data to keep , probably more… we can also multiply by man-hours and $ / hour … or whatever currency is used…
But of course there is a indirect hint that in fact not everything is tested each camera with each lens… because down at the bottom a slip of tongue
DxO Labs specifically calls out one example, wherein for ‘the new Optics Modules for the Sigma 150–600mm F5–6.3 DG DN OS S, measurements were not made using just a single full-frame Alpha camera, but with almost every Sony camera on the market.’
so one can guess that there are indeed bespoke modules and modules that are … less than bespoke 
now we do not know which are which and how bespoke or non-bespoke they are ( not to mention sample variarions )
