Oh WOW! This might be a route to soling a problem I have. I favour using 'antique' lenses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rgp1Tfikv0 with either adaptors or remounts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kaN4Fj16wA&t=334s And in particular the Pentax Takumar 50mm 1.4 on my Sony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGH-Y4n0vSA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omeyL_siN8E 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 -- Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone. --John Maynard Keynes ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
