It won't be a camera problem; the camera doesn't do anything with the lens ID it receives except stuff it into the image EXIF data. Sigma in the past were notorious for not actually accquiring a real lens ID code from Pentax, but just masquerading as something else with approximately the same focal length/aperture, etc. If they have stopped doing this, and have a unique code for this lens, then I'd expect the next Lightroom update to recognise the code and know all about the lens; Adobe will get the information from Pentax. If Sigma are still playing silly games, though, it's anybody's guess when (if ever) Lightroom will know what to display. -- 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.
