The README explains that the database grew from an earlier public PTLens database, with permission from the PTLens author, while Lensfun's code was rewritten from scratch and the data was converted to a new XML-based format. Project maintenance shifted in 2012, when Torsten Bronger described taking over maintenance after fixes and database updates had stalled. The focus after that was continuous integration of submitted profiles and regular releases so application users could get updated camera and lens data. ### Adoption history Lensfun's adoption is tied to desktop photo and raw-processing software. The project documentation describes Lensfun itself as a library and database, with actual image correction normally happening through applications that integrate it. Its packaging spread reflects that role: distributions ship both the runtime library/database and helper tools so photo applications can use a shared correction database instead of maintaining their own lens profiles. ### How it is used Applications query Lensfun's camera and lens database, then apply correction algorithms based on the matched equipment profile. The project also ships tools such as lensfun-update-data and lenstool for maintaining or testing the database outside a larger photo application. ### Why package nerds care Lensfun matters to package nerds because it is shared data infrastructure: one small package can improve lens correction across many photography applications. Its database-updater commands also make the package unusually data-centric for a C/C++ media library. ### Timeline - 2007: Andrew Zabolotny started Lensfun as a free and open source lens-correction database. - 2012: Torsten Bronger took over maintenance and emphasized integrating submitted profiles and releasing updated data. - 2022: Release 0.3.3 updated the 0.3.x branch with camera and lens data through February 22, 2022. - 2023: Release 0.3.4 updated the 0.3.x branch with camera and lens data through July 12, 2023. ### Related projects - PTLens supplied the public database seed that Lensfun converted and extended. - Photo applications with Lensfun support are the main consumers of the library and database. ### Sources -
