EXIF: Lens

I was trying to create smart albums based on which lens was used. I was surprised to see that Lens is not one of the EXIF fields.
I saw "Lens min. focal length," and "Lens max. focal length." These would do the trick; however, for my 5D, these fields were empty.
I opened the raw files in Bridge, and the "Lens" field was filled in for both cameras. I didn't see the min, and max focal length fields.
What can I do to create Smart Albums based on which lens I used?
Thanks,
Toine

Toine,
What can I do to create Smart Albums based on which lens I used?
You can't. Aperture doesn't support EXIF lens fields. You're not alone in wanting to use them; this question comes up every few weeks.
Be sure to submit Aperture feedback:

  • Pentax K30 - No exif lens info for jpg files

    Hi,
    I'm using v5.2 now. But the issue is still not fixed.
    For all jpg files from my Pentax K-30 no exif lens info is shown e.g. in the library view (regardless of the used lens). The lens info is only shown with raw (dng) files.
    Curiously, for my old Pentax K100D all is working fine: lens info is shown with both jpg and raw files.
    How can I fix that?

    Use "Software Update" to make sure you have the latest "Camera RAW".
    If you do, report the bug to Apple using the Aperture feedback form:  "Aperture→Provide Aperture Feedback".

  • Export with Metadata does not write EXIF Lens & GPS info

    I use the Olympus E-3.
    I've worked an entire project with Aperture 2 (now at 2.1.2), only to find out eventually that when exporting, aperture does not write the Lens info, and GPS section of the EXIF. This is bread and butter for me.
    Did a search in the forum, and there was 1 other who encounter the same problem..
    http://www.trick77.com/2009/02/01/aperture-doesnt-export-all-exif-header-info/
    the workaround was to copy EXIF from the original file, using Exiftool with GUI on windowsXP. The result being that Adobe bridge and LR can read, while aperture cannot read.

    I also encounterd this annoying problem... I just posted another message about this...

  • Export a raw file to jpeg losses lens information

    When I export a raw file to jpeg it losses the lens information.

    Ernie,
    I have never paid attention to those tags on exported JPGs before, but I have recreated the scenario you described.  I have a Canon XTi, and my CR2 master files have about 12 more EXIF tags than the JPG versions.  Excluded in the JPG is the lens model. 
    However, the lens information for my camera is Canon proprietary tags.  That is, the general EXIF lens tags are not populated by my camera, so I would not expect them to be translated to regular EXIF tags by Aperture in a JPG.  I.e., I don't think Aperture will take metadata from one proprietary tag and put it in the place of another standard tag.  I suspect that is the same is true in your case.

  • Lens recognised in Photoshop CS5 but not in Lightroom 3

    Automatic lens correction recognises my camera make and lens ( Sony - sigma 18 -250) in Photoshop CS5 but not in Lightroom 3. In fact the lens is not even listed in Lightroom.
    Is there a way to update Lightroom with the Photoshop data?

    I don't think Photoshop's plugin filters by file type - it just throw all the profiles at you, but uses exif lens data to pre-select the bes matching.
    I think it makes sense, since after opening a file, be it raw or jpeg, in Photoshop, the program cannot be sure about the provenience of data. So it relies on user to make the right choice.

  • Lens type metadata?

    Hi. I know that when you open up a photo in Camera RAW it shows the lens type. And yet, I can't find this in the Aperture Metadata set. I would love to be able to group by lens type. Is this available somewhere and I'm missing it?
    Also, are you able to sort within albums by things like aperture or shutter speed? I think the answer is no, but I'm not sure.
    Thanks!
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    You're hardly the only person who would like access to the EXIF lens type metadata info. I currently include the camera make and model in my web galleries and would like to do the same with the lens type.
    AFAIK, the lens type is a standard EXIF field. ExifTool reads it without a hitch.
    Be sure to submit Aperture feedback on this issue.

  • Aperture don't show type of lens

    Mac OS X 10.6.8
    Aperture 3.2.4
    Preview 5.0.3
    Mac OS X 10.8
    Preview in 10.8
    I have RAWs.
    Created with Canon EOS 5D Mark 3 and Zeiss Distagon T* 2.8 / 21 mm.
    In Aperture and in Preview there is no Info about type of lens.
    There is only info: Unknown (33) 21 mm, see screenhot from Aperture 3.2.4
    I have communicate with Zeiss and and Zeiss say that there is a code for Exif in the CPU of distagon that give info of type of lens.
    The creator of RAWs has no problem with type of lens.
    He use not a Mac and not Aperture.
    He use WIN and Lightroom ;-)
    My question.
    Why is it a problem for Apple to implement correct info about type of lenses ?
    Other RAWs with Canon lenses show the right type of lens in Aperture and Preview.
    Has someone heart about new Aperture 4 that this bug is solved ?
    Jochen

    Jochen,
    this problem occured on and off since the raw update in september last year. So I dare no prediction, if and when this will be fixed. My Canon EOS 5D Mark II shows the correct exif info.
    Have a look at this thread: Re: EXIF lens code cannot be recognized
    As a work-around, if the lens info is very important to you, you can try to fix it with exiftool, as described in the thread above - you may also have a look at my user tip here:

  • Lens information - which lens did I use?

    Can Aperture display lens information? I'd like to be able to separate my images quickly by lens used.
    Thanks in advance.

    Can Aperture display lens information?
    No, not officially. I'd recommend sending feedback and hoping for the best in Aperture 2.0. I'd also like to sort by lens type and include lens information in my captions.
    That said, if you dig through the archives, you'll see some hacks where people have managed to extract EXIF lens information. Hard to say if this hack and official lens support would collide.
    Cheers,

  • Is there a way to extract an image file metadata?

    I know this isn't specific to PS but hope there's an answer here.
    I'm transcribing some of the metadata from image files to build a simple catalog.  Included are things like dimensions, resolution, and photo date.  Is there a way to extract this data other than manually?
    Thanks

  • Photoshop not seeing lens model in exif data from A3 export

    Hi, I am trying to use the lens correction features in CS5 but the lens type can't be read in the exif data of an image I've exported from A3. It sees the focal length and body type. The lens type is listed in the Metadata Inspector in A3. I took the image into iPhoto and checked "extended photo info" and the lens type isn't there either. This happens with at least 2 lenses. One prime and one zoom. Any ideas?

    Hi again
    Having played with metadata a bit more, it is possible to include EXIF data for the lens size etc.. eg...EF300mm f2.8L IS USM But it doesn't append the manufacturer's name, eg I use Canon, yet 'Canon' is not appended to the Lens data like it is to the camera name..
    In the library Inspector click > Metadata > where it says 'General' click the down arrow, then click > Edit > from the window that appears click > EXIF > from the drop down list click > Lens (scroll down a bit)
    The lens you used will now be appended to your data.
    I have not tried exporting this to Photoshop so maybe you could post back if its possible to export this data to PS or not.
    Maybe someone has information on this and can chip in here with advice....
    Hope this is helpful....... Gerry....
    PS to all reading this, I also noticed while playing around with this ( I have not delved into metadata too much since Ap2) that all my personal details like mobile number, address, email etc are all appended by default, I imagine my address book info has been used here.
    A useful feature indeed while selling photo's, or if you intend it to be there..... but not so good if you are not aware it's there in the first place.....!
    Just a shared thought to whom it may concern....... Gerry.

  • Lens data from Exif

    This is a question that was raised in the Lightroom Forum, but I think it might fit better in here. In Lightroom there is an option to sort images with respect to lens used, a very neat function, but when using raw files from Minolta (.mrw) or DNG's converted from these, no lens data is provided. The only information in there is "Unknown lens". Can this be fixed?

    It may work this way with Pentax PEF files but unfortunately doesn't with Minolta MRW or Sony ARW files. Of course, Minolta AF (and now Sony Alpha) lenses do report their identities to the camera, and the camera does write this info into the EXIF data but it ends up as an obscure lens ID in the Minolta (or Sony) Maker Notes where most 3rd-party software (including Adobe's) cannot (or would not) access it.

    This is not true! Adobe XMP won't read the Maker Notes sections but it does preserve them. When I convert an MRW file to DNG (with Adobe DNG Converter) and then create a TIFF or JPEG file from the DNG (with Camera Raw) then the Minolta Maker Notes will still be present in the final TIFF or JPEG file (and of course in the DNG file, too).

    Sigma lenses don't have Minolta/Sony lens IDs but just random numbers. Kindly ignore what Sigma lenses do. And please don't bother which lens 'was really used.' Just provide us with the lens ID found in the EXIF Minolta/Sony Maker Notes data. Please!
    By the way, is there a way to access the Minolta Maker Note LensID tag (or any tag) in the EXIF data through the JavaScript API? If not then please add one!
    Currently, I enter the names of the Minolta/Sony lenses manually into the metadata. I customized my File Info Panel 'Camera Data 1' so I can enter the data there in a fairly comfortable way. This is not too hard to do because usually I am using no more than two or three different lenses per assignment usually. This way, the lens names go into the exif/1.0/aux tag named 'Lens.' Unfortunatey, due to a bug in Bridge or in XMP, raw files and DNG files won't accept changes in this and a few more tags; only TIFF and JPEG files will. Instead, the change will get stored in Bridge's cache only. So I wrote a Bridge script to manipulate the XMP sidecar files' contents directly, to 'burn' the changes from the volatile cache permanently into the disk files' metadata.
    All this would become *much* easier when 1) we had access to the lens ID in the Minolta (or Sony) Maker Notes and 2) someone would eventually care about fixing that $#!+ metadata bug in Bridge (or XMP) which was already there in Bridge 1.0 and still is around in Bridge 2.1.

  • Pentax lens type not displayed in exif data.

    I have an SMC Pentax-DA 18-250mm lens, which I use on my K10D. I save the raw files in .dng format directly on to the memory card, then import them unchanged into LR.
    LR has persistently refused to show the lens type in the exif data for this lens - other Pentax lenses that I have work fine, as do all the other lenses that I have used in the past. This applies to all LR versions, including the current v2.1 beta. It DOES correctly show the actual focal length used for the shot, and the 35mm equivalent.
    The lens type data is definitely present in the .dng files - the Pentax supplied raw convertor shows it.
    I know the lens is a relatively model from Pentax, but I bought it nearly a year ago now, and LR has undergone several updates since then - enough time for LR to catch up, I would have thought?
    It is an annoyance, rather than a big deal, but I'd appreciate any thoughts or comments.
    Cheers

    I am testing Lightroom 2. I believe this problem is still occuring.
    Can this be confirmed?

  • Lightroom 5.7.1 Lens Corrections chooses wrong lens info from EXIF when I 'Enable Profile Corrections'. Windows 7

    When I enable lens corrections on a jpg image it brings up the wrong lens info. If I try to change it there are only 2 lenses listed—neither one is correct. It lists a 50mm lens even though in the Histogram just above it says 18mm. I then tried the original DNG image & it chooses the correct lens automatically. Both the jpg & DNG image EXIF info show an 18mm lens, which is correct, but Lr doesn't read the jpg info correctly. The problem is the same on all the images I've tried so far.

    Most Adobe-supplied lens profiles are for raw files only.  Since there are very few JPG lens profiles LR is probably just choosing the closest one it has which isn’t anywhere close to the right lens.
    The reason raw and jpgs have separate lens profiles is because cameras apply lens corrections when they produce JPGs and it would be inappropriate for LR to apply a lens profile when the camera already has, so LR refrains.  If you are sure that your camera has not applied any corrections then you can hack a raw lens profile into a jpg lens profile by text-editing a copy of the .lcp file that comes with LR, and changing the raw designation from true to false inside the file for each profile segment, then move this edited copy to the users profile area.  You might also find the JPG version of the profile using the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader available via a search at adobe.com.

  • Lens-to-subject distance in EXIF data

    I'm looking for lens-to-subject distance in my EXIF data (Canon 7D Mk II).  Is it captured?And if so, how do I view it?

    Hi wildimagesfla!
    Thanks for posting.
    The distance between the lens and the subject being focused on is not something that is captured and recorded in the EXIF information.
