Re: EXIF Mystery

In the Pentax system, the lens doesn't report a readable name to the camera, but reports a couple of unique numbers that are recorded in the EXIF. Your software then has to be updated to map those numbers to the user-readable name of the lens. According to this page:

Hi Mark, Here are my thoughts (but you might have already had all of them yourself..) Your photoshop could have a problem if it's RAW module version is older than the lens. But since Flickr doesn't show that name either, I'd assume it is not there. (A slim chance if that PS strips it out ...

Thanks, Igor. The contacts on the lens look fine. Since this problem only happens with this lens and appears on multiple bodies, it clearly is the lens that is at issue. Since flicker shows a lot of exif info I compared what it shows for shots with my lens verses Larry's copy of the same lens.
