I would definitely issue a bug report against exiv2. But first, look thoroughly whether there is already one. If not, tell them the full and exact lens model name, and upload a pristine JPEG from the camera, as small as possible. > Can anyone suggest a workaround for the time being? You can write a script that replaces the lens model name the XMP files. You have to switch off compression of long entries in XMP files, and detection of updated XMP files (both in the settings of Darktable). I *think* that the lens model name is then included as a hexdump in one history_params entry (which one is in history_operation). Maybe I overlook something, but I toy with the idea of issuing a feature request of a text file ~/.config/darktable/lens_name_mapping: If Darktable finds lens model X, it replaces it with lens model Y (empty strings allowed). It seems to be a very simple and robust ad-hoc solution to me.
