Re: EXIF Mystery

Matthew, You are correct in your assessment. I think it is the 2nd time I am making a wrong assumption that Flickr keeps its database up to date. I need to take a mental note of it, and, more importantly, remember about it. :-) What I didn't know is that LR/PS, etc are actually writing the

Re: EXIF Mystery

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... Mark Matthew Hunt wrote: On Mon, Jul 10, 2017 at 8:38 PM, Mark C wrote:

Re: EXIF Mystery

Thanks, Igor. The contacts on the lens look fine. Since this problem only happens with this lens and appears on multiple bodies, it clearly is the lens that is at issue. Since flicker shows a lot of exif info I compared what it shows for shots with my lens verses Larry's copy of the same lens.

Re: EXIF Mystery

In the Pentax system, the lens doesn't report a readable name to the camera, but reports a couple of unique numbers that are recorded in the EXIF. Your software then has to be updated to map those numbers to the user-readable name of the lens. According to this page:

Re: EXIF Mystery

Hi Mark, Here are my thoughts (but you might have already had all of them yourself..) Your photoshop could have a problem if it's RAW module version is older than the lens. But since Flickr doesn't show that name either, I'd assume it is not there. (A slim chance if that PS strips it out ...

EXIF Mystery

I just noticed that my DFA 28-105 f3.5-5.6 does not show up in EXIF data. I've tried it on the K1 and the K3 and in both cases when I view file info in Photoshop the lens field in blank. I noticed this because uploads to flickr with this lens also do not show any lens data. I tried a couple
