Hoi Jos In CameraRaw.dll there is a code 3 44 which maps to Sigma or Tamron Lens. If your lenses have unique id codes, then you can modify the dll to give them specific names. If they all use 3 44, then no :-( E.g. my Sigma 18-250 uses 8 8, not used by other lenses. So I overwrote a lens I will never own with the correct text string and set it to 8 8. Presto, my lens is recognized when importing photos.

I could also check with the Pentax Camera utility that came with the K5 If I can add a lens in LR, can I also correct some lens names? I have some lenses called "Sigma or Tamron lens" in LR. greetz Jos On 7-6-2013 13:28, Gerrit Visser wrote: > Have you checked with something such as Exif tool?
