The software from Pentax reads and displays the lens type which proves
the data is in the EXIF. All others like Adobe don't show the lens
used for the K10D. Adobe shows the lens used on the istD. A K10D

Well I'm much tempted by interchangeable lens RF.
But I also know I won't but any 1000 dollars camera just to try if I

There shouldn't be anything wrong with your K10D if the Pentax
software sees the lens data. Something like this was discussed in
another thread and I think I mentioned about Photoshop stripping the
lens data off the EXIF file. My PS version is the CS; someone
mentioned that later versions (CS2?
