You're right - I pulled a shot into Pentax's Digital Camera Utility and it correctly shows the lens name and other info. So I won't worry about it.

Eventually I might have to update my software...

Larry's version of Lightroom is new enough to understand the 28-105
lens code, and the version he exports to Flickr has the human-readable
name somewhere in the metadata courtesy of Lightroom doing the lookup.

I also uploaded a JPG to flickr - it showed no lens data as well, not even the 
lens id code.
Flickr's not keeping their Pentax lens ID database up-to-date enough
to understand the code in straight-out-of-camera files. They're
probably barely keeping the lights on there.

Looks like its time for a warranty repair. At least I have the Tamron 28-75 as 
a fall back.
Nah, you just need newer software.

The "8 61" code I found in your EXIF (in my previous email) is the
correct code for that lens, BTW:

If you don't believe me, throw a raw file somewhere I can download it,
and I'll pull it into an up-to-date Lightroom CC. It can be a shot of
a blank wall.
