AFAIK, currently, m43 and Fuji X embed lens correction parameters in
RAW files.  Unfortunately, these a closed standards.  For m43s, I
asked the "info" email address on the consortium's webpage, finding
out that it's the webmaster's address, and he didn't know whom to
contact.  Then, I contacted Olympus directly, with no response.  For
Fuji X, I asked Fuji, and they told me that I'm not eligible for
this information.

There is some progress in reverse-engineering m43s but I have not
looked at that so far.

Being a Lensfun contributor, I'm interested in the mathematics of
these standards.  I would implement them in Lensfun.  Then,
Darktable would need to grow the ability to extract the data from
the RAW and pass it to Lensfun, and the correction would work.

But this is a rocky road ahead.  Until then, we rely on test images
to build own Lensfun profiles for m43 and Fuji X lenses (and all
others, for that matter).

Fortunately for you, vignetting test images are pretty easy to make,
once the setup for it is ready.  See

Tschö,
Torsten.
