I believe you are wrong here. According to a posting several years ago on the Adobe Camera Raw forums Adobe receive a lot of information from Pentax - not only lens codes, but also documentation on some of the other Pentax Private fields in the EXIF tags. But that's only Adobe. While I suppose Dave Coffin, say, might be able to enter into such an agreement with Pentax, it's probably not going to be worth the trouble - at the very least, it would involve lawyers, non-disclosure agreements, etc. And there's no way that I would be able to get the information from Pentax for my private use. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
