Just to clarify for people who like to use proper database terminology: The lens info is displayed in the *lens* field of the metadata section of Bridge called "Camera Data (Exif)". I've also noticed that IrfanView doesn't show the lens data, even when it *is* embedded in the JPEG and Adobe Bridge sees it there. Probably because it isn't a standard EXIF field. Interesting (and convenient) that Bridge reads it, though. (I wouldn't be surprised if IrfanView gets this capability at some point: Irfan Skiljan is pretty relentless about adding improvements.)
