Oh WOW!

This might be a route to soling a problem I have.
I favour using 'antique' lenses.

with either adaptors or remounts

And in particular the Pentax Takumar 50mm 1.4 on my Sony:

The point of all of this is that these 'antique' lenses do not communicate with
the camera body.  AT ALL.
Not only are they 'not automatic' in any sense of the word, not only can the
camera not adjust the aperture or the focus but the lens doesn't report its
setting, nor does it report an identity.

So you import  an 'anonymous' image into DT.  Hopefully you remember which lens
you were using and hopefully it is in the database.

Oh, is the Super Takumar 50mm 1.4 there?
yes, for Sony E-mount, not A-mount
