Thanks Tony,
Yes the supplied profile works - in my test shots it corrects distortion and vignetting nicely - but it is a pain to have to pick the proffile by hand for each shot.
My real issue is Lightroom not correctly identifying the lens and listing it as "Unknown" in the meta data. Was hoping there was a way to teach lightroom to recognize it - or a config file to hack to make it recognize the lens.
For testing puposes I changed the raw format of my Pentax from DNG to PEF but got the saame result.
Anyone else have ideas?
Jim

  • Unknown lens

    In past I took photos using unknown lens at that times.
    With new version I have noticed the lens is already known to LR,
    newly imported photos are listed with lens name.
    But previously imported fotos are still listed under
    unknown lens
    in search by metadata panel.
    Is there a way to "tell" LR to update it even for old photos?

    Try 'Read Metadata from File'.
    Beware that it might overwrite any changes you might have made in Develop or Library module, if those changes have not been saved to xmp. So, before reading metadata, it's a good idea to save it first.

  • How do you make what Firefox lists as "unknown plugins" known?

    When I go to the Plugin Check page to check for updates, there is a list of the Plugins that I'm using... about half are "known" which enables me to update but the other half is listed as "Unknown plugin" which makes it so that I can't update them... how do I make those "known"?

    Hi, i also have the same problem, and i try to keep my plugins all up to date, but the fact is that half of them continually says that are unknown!I did the research and try to download some of them - because the others can´t find the download buttons on the researched pages-, to download the newer version and still keep having the same message.For ex. i did the research for picnic and did the download of the newer version, although i thought i had already the newer version, and after doing that i closed firefox and open it again and clicked on check for updates and still gives me the same message saying that the plugin is unknown???'I just don´t understand!!The same thing for google talk plugin and for google earth, i downloaded the newer version and still keeps giving me the same message.I send here a screenshot of some of the plugins that have that message. I also realised that the big majority of them are from google, like google update, for ex.I just would like to say that i have the firefox updated too, i checked that.
    Thanks.

  • Since updating the new iOS7, I am receiving a call several times a day from a number listed as "unknown" and nobody is on the other end of the line when I answer.  Any advise to block this call from coming to my phone?

    Since updating to the new iOS7, I receive a call several times a day listed as "unknown" and nobody is on the line.  Any advise as to why this is happening and how I can block this call?

    Update - made an appointment at Genius bar today (chadstone, Victoria, Australia).
    Genius examined phone, replicated the issue and identified a malfunctioning main microphone. He noted that the reason I could still talk to the other party when I activated the 'speakerphone' function is that the speakerphone has a (second) noise cancelling microphone/speaker at the top of the handset. He replaced the phone under warranty, and offered to help me to set up the new phone. In and out in less than 15 minutes, with new phone operational.
    Very knowledgable, very polite and just great service.. Thank you Apple team at Chadstone.

  • EXIF Tag problem / unknown lens

    Hi everyone,
    I imported a few raw files in lightroom 3.4.1 (mac version, but this is irrelevant), all of them are from Sony cameras and different lenses.
    From the command line, exiftool always reports the correct camera model/lens, but lightroom often does not.
    From the exiftool documentation, it seems that Sony has a specific EXIF tag for the lens model, called "LensID".
    However when LR generates the xmp, it does write some lens information in it, but I cannot understand where it reads from.
    For example, I run a sample query on a raw file, which LR correctly identifies, asking all possible lens-related fields:
    exiftool -Lens -LensID -LensModel -LensType -LensMake -LensSerialNumber _DSC0350.ARW
    Lens ID                         : Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* DT 16-80mm F3.5-4.5 ZA
    Lens Type                     : Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* DT 16-80mm F3.5-4.5 ZA
    and in the corresponding xmp file I have:
      <aux:Lens>DT 16-80mm F3.5-4.5 ZA</aux:Lens>
      <aux:LensID>46</aux:LensID>
    and if I query directly the xmp file (which exiftool can do):
    exiftool -Lens -LensID -LensModel -LensType -LensMake -LensSerialNumber _DSC0350.xmp
    Lens                            : DT 16-80mm F3.5-4.5 ZA
    Lens ID                        : Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* DT 16-80mm F3.5-4.5 ZA
    So, the LR-generated "Lens" field in xmp is a *different* string.
    If I repeat the same procedure on some different raw files (from different sony cameras), I get different results: most times the xmp contains no lens field, and LR says "unknown lens", even if the ARW does contain the same information shown above.
    If I manually fix the xmp with exiftool and I force LR to reload metadata from files, then I get the lens identified.
    Is it possible to fix this situation somehow?

    In my opinion, it is not possible to get a reliable lens identification with Sony/Minolta cameras unless you have a lens lookup list which fits your actual lens collection. So that means that you either have to buy lenses which fits the lookup list in your identification tool, or use an identification tool which allows you to modify the lookup list. The latter option excludes using Lightroom for lens identification, as far as I know. I don't know about exiftool.
    Old Minolta IDs have been reused by Sony when they released similar lenses, which I guess is acceptable but can result in Sony lenses being recognized as Minolta or vice versa. Even worse is that third party lens makers have released a lot of lenses where they use a more or less random ID from the Minolta lenses.
    Here is an example of lenses using ID 25611:
    Minolta AF 75-300mm F4.5-5.6
    Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 DL Macro
    Sigma AF 300mm F4 APO Macro
    Sigma AF 500mm F4.5 APO
    Sigma AF 170-500mm F5-6.3 APO Asph
    Tokina AT-X AF 300mm F4
    Tokina AT-X AF 400mm F5.6 SD
    Tokina AF 730 II 75-300mm F4.5-5.6
    Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 APO Macro
    Sigma AF 500mm F7.2 APO
    (And now I just discovered that this list is incomplete, since the exiftool link posted by ixtab alos lists an ID 25611 Sigma 800 mm which is not in my list.)
    To some extent, the correct lens can be picked from the list if combining ID, max. aperture and focal length from the EXIF. If ID is 25611, max. aperture is 4.5, and focal length is 500, it can only be a Sigma AF 500mm F4.5 APO.
    But if ID is 25611, max. aperture is 5.6, and focal length is 300, there are actually 4-5 different lenses which match. With a little luck you only own one of those lenses and can give that lens the highest priority in the lookup list. That is why it is so important to be able to modify the lookup list.
    I use a command line tool called alphalensinfo which does just that: Uses the combination of ID, max. aperture and focal length and allows you to modify the lookup list. The information is written into an .xmp file which is imported with the image into Lightroom.
    I know that exiftool can do something similar, as stated earlier in the thread, but I have no experience with using it for this purpose (even though I actually do use exiftool in the same batch process to rectify the Orientation tag of the photos).

  • Photos look blurry in Aperture (Unknown Lens)

    Hello,
    I see a strange behaviour in Apple's Aperture (latest version).
    When I import new pictures, taken by a Samsung NX1000 and open the pic the first time it looks sharp.
    After less than a second Aperture does something and I see the picture changes from sharp to blurry.
    When I open the pic in Mac Finder the picture looks great.
    Maybe it has something to do that Aperture does not recognize my lens?
    I see that the camera model is correct but with "Unknown Lens"
    Hope you can help.
    - Attached you see a picture in Aperture (left), and the same pic opened from the Finder.
    - The picture on the right is much better. How is this possible? I just import the pic without
      any editing into Apreture and get the mess.
    LEFT > Aperture --- RIGHT > Same pic opened in Finder on Mac, look way better.
    Regards,
    Marc

    Hi Griff W!
    What is the relationship between sharpening and un-adjusted Images in Aperture?  The article you cite says:
    sharpening adjustments applied to the image may seem less apparent than they really are.
    The OP specifies that the effect he is seeing precedes any adjustments made.  Are you implying that the article you cite includes the sharpening controls in the RAW Fine Tuning adjustment as part of its definition of "sharpening adjustments"?  This is important to know.  Thanks for your insight.

  • After loading Lion I cannot open some pictures. I get Unsupported Image Format. It tells me picture was taken with Canon EOS Rebel with unknown lens

    After loading Lion I cannot open open some pictures in Aperture. I get Unsupported Image Format, all files even the ones I can open are .JPG. Also it tells me picture was made using Canon EOS Rebel with unknown lens.

    You mention that 'most' of your files are DNG. Try
    running the effected files through Adobe DNG
    converter again and then import your reprocessed
    files to Aperture and see if the problem persists.
    I had a problem with a batch of D2x files converted
    to DNG which had been metadata tagged by
    PhotoMechanic (the evil app).
    B.T.W. You mention that you had been using Bridge.
    Are you getting any of the embedded XMP metadata
    coming into Aperture during the import process?
    Already tried that multiple times...no luck. I'm wondering though if it might be related to metadata as you suggest. I'm still trying different things to see what happens.
    I was able to alleviate the problem on one set of images by painstakingly searching my external drive for the oldest backups I could find - CR2 files from before DNG conversion. I then ran those through DNG Converter and tried importing them again (this time, I embedded NO thumbnail, but I'm not sure if that made the difference - I think it was more likely a fluke in the original conversion that caused the problem). This time, it worked.
    Now, the big problem is that I still have a couple hundred images for which I can't seem to locate the original CR2 files. I don't typically keep them after conversion, as I don't have the space for both.

  • Nikon D800 Camera not listed in the Lens Correction Filter under camera models in Photoshop CC 2014

    I do not see a Nikon D 800 Camera listed in the Lens Correction Filter under camera models. Is there any way to update this ?

    The lens distortion corrections are encoded in such a way that they are independent of the body of camera that they were determined with--in other words they are in terms of millimeters not pixels.  The only issue is that lens profiles computed on a crop-frame body can't reliably be applied for the same lens on a full-frame body because the lens profile from a crop-frame body won't cover the entire full-frame lens image circle.
    So as you're looking for a lens profile just make sure you're using a full-frame one if you have a full-frame or crop-frame camera, and don't try to use a crop-frame one on a full-frame camera.  I'd expect Adobe only computes crop-frame profiles for crop-frame lenses, and uses full-frame camera bodies on full frame lenses, so there shouldn't be a problem.

  • Unknown lens (& also known lens)

    I had taken some photos from my Canon EOS 5D Mark II, using the the 24-105mm/f4.0L IS USM lens.
    But on importing them into Lightroom 2.3, about 25-30% of the photos show "Unknown Lens" under metadata, whereas 70-75% of them correctly show "24-105mm f/4L IS USM"
    Is it some standard/ known issue of Lightroom? Is there anyway to fix those few hundred photos so that they show the correct lens info?
    Any tips/ advice greatly appreciated. Thx.

    I don't recall any reports of this nature, so it's certainly not standard.
    Lightroom gets the info from the Exif embedded into the original file by the camera. If some are showing the lens as Unknown then it's very likely due to the camera lens combination. Establishing what that might be will require some detective work at your end. For example, was the lens attached to the camera via a non Canon extender? Was the lens properly attached? Have you tried cleaning the contacts on the lens and camera?
    Fixing the images you've already shot can be achieved in at least two ways. The first involves editing the actual Exif in each file using an application called ExifTool http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ Unfortunately, I can't offer any guidance on how you would go about it with this application. The second method involves saving the metadata for each file as an XMP sidecar (Save metadata to file in Lr Metadata menu) then using a text editor to search and replace ** the bad lens info. Most text editors can run this type of process as a batch, so it doesn't take long. When the files are fixed you would then use the Read metadata from file menu option to import the updated Exif.
    Search for <aux:Lens>Unknown</aux:Lens>
    Replace with <aux:Lens>EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM</aux:Lens>
    Edit: the following link will take you to a GUI front end for ExfTool http://freeweb.siol.net/hrastni3/ However, I don't no whether it allows you to edit the lens type

  • Iterating through a generic list of unknown type

    Hi,
    I am in the process of creating pdf reports for my project.I have to deal with a persistence api to get the data for the report.The data will be in the form of a list,like List<SomeObject>,all these lists returned by the persistence framework contains object of some type which implements a common interface.But through that interface I wont be able to get all the data for my reports.So I am looking for a generic way for iterating through the list,by providing some metadata for the data within the list. I am planning to use reflection to query through the list.Is there any feature of generic,through which I can easily iterate through this unknown type,preferrably a combination of reflection and generics,I want to reduce the LOC.Any suggestions??

    If the List returned by the framework isn't parameterized, Like
    public List<K> getList(Class<K> classType);
    then you have to cast it to the appropriate type. If you are not sure about the type of the Objects in the list, and you have a bunch of class types you could expect from the list, then you could use instanceof operator.
    If it could be Class A or B, then
    if (obj instanceof A){
    A castObject = (A) obj;
    else if(obj instanceof B){
    B castObject = (B)obj;
    }Even to do reflection to invoke methods, you need to know the method Names. Which tells me you have the knowledge of what could come out of the list. So cast them. Invoking methods using reflection is really slow.

  • Lenses not listed in the Lens Optimizer in Digital Photo Professional

    As the topic title states my lenses are not listed in the Digital Lens Optimizer. I've placed the CD in the tray, and yet the program says it's connecting to the server, and when done, they are not found in the list. The lenses are:
    EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II
    EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II
    Why are they not listed? How do I get them?
     DPP version 3.13.0.1
    EOS 70D / EOS Rebel t4i / EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS II / EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS II / Sigma 17-50 f2.8/ Canon EF-S 60mm f2.8 macro/ Canon EF 100mm f2.8 macro/ Tamron 70-300mm / 430EX II Speedlite / Canon FS 300
    Canon Pixma MG 3100 / Canon LiDE 2100
    Adobe Lightroom 4, Canon DPP, Corel Paintshop Pro X4

    Of the lenses I have, the following are not supported by DPP 4 (However, they are supported "in camera" with EOS Utility 3)
    Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II USM 
    Canon EF 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 USM
    Canon EF 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 USM
    Canon EF 28-90mm f/4-5.6 USM
    Canon EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 II USM
    Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
    Canon EF 75-300mm f4.5-5.6 USM
    I don't care if they are "old" lenses or not. Why have the correction profiles for "in camera" correction (when saving/converting to JPG) and not in DPP 4? They have the data, they could just port it over from the database used in EOS Utility 3.
    These lens correction profiles bring new life to some of the old "film" lenses like the Canon EF 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 USM lens. That lens has lots of distortion. However with in camera correction, it now produces good pictures.
    I am not a professional photographer. I am a photography enthuisasts. I'll NEVER spend $1,000.00 or more for an "L" series lens (in fact I sold the Canon 24-105 f/4 L "kit lens that came with my EOS 5D. It was way too heavy, and the zoom on the low end was cramped (only 4mm movement between 24mm and 28mm). I like/use my Canon EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 II USM and Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM better.
    Maybe my mistake is that I am using a program call Digital Photo Professional and I am not a professional. I noticed that that software leans heavily and supports the "L" series lenses.

  • Panasonic GH4 is not listed in the "Lens correction Profile"

    Hi there,
    I am using Panasonic GH4 and GX7.
    And according to my Lightroom 5, it is already the latest version but under the lens crorection profile. I cannot even find the word PANASONIC in the dropdown menu for cameras.
    Any ideas and tips ?
    Thank you

    I won't say that I understand this, but on 99jon's linked page there is "fine print" that says, "For Panasonic and Olympus cameras, automatic lens profile correction is supported on all raw files from Micro Four Thirds cameras."
    (The statement is the last bullet point in the Tips section above the lens list.)
    Yes, this is what I don't understand too.
    While the fine-print says it supported Panasonic micro 4/3 cameras but Panasonic is not in the list of cameras that 99jon posted ...
    Any ideas ?

  • Unknown lens - leica m8

    the metadata in aperture shows my lens info as unknown (i am using 6-bit coded lens), also the aperture is not displaying.
    what is wrong??

    Try 'Read Metadata from File'.
    Beware that it might overwrite any changes you might have made in Develop or Library module, if those changes have not been saved to xmp. So, before reading metadata, it's a good idea to save it first.

  • Unknown camera and unknown lens

    Hello,
    For some reason today, Aperture is not recognizing my camera or lens when I import images from my memory card.  There is no photo or exif metadata being reported by Aperture for the photo's imported today.  Photo's that were imported last Monday have the correct photo and exif metadata.
    Photo's were taken with a Nikon D7000 and 35mm f1.8 DX lens.  I used ViewNX2 to grab the metadata from one of the photo's on the memory card and the camera make and lens information are correct.  When I open the file in Preview.app I can see the following metadata in the "Exif" tab:

    I noticed the Lens ID in the Aperture metadata shows -2,147,483,648.  That seems odd to me.  However, the Lens Model, and Lens Info appear correct.  I checked the Lens ID number with Preview for one of the photo's in Aperture where the metadata appears correctly and it is the same -2,147,483,648 number.  So, I surmise my camera likely does not use this field.  From the "TIFF" tab I have the following metadata:

    None of this metadata makes it into Aperture for any of the photo's imported today even though the metadata is being viewed with Preview directly from the corresponding JPG files imported into the Aperture library.
    Other information that may or may not be relevant:
    I reinstalled Aperture a little over a week ago because the names of the adjustment bricks suddenly changed to names that all started with "DG..."
    Adobe Flash suddenly stopped working when viewing an online video today and I could not view a flash video from any website after that.  I uninstalled and reinstalled Flash.
    OS X 10.8.2 supplemental update was installed today after I noticed this problem (from 10.8.2).
    Any idea's?
    Steve

    Update.
    I trashed the preferences and moved the ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture folder.  No change.
    I created a new library, imported a photo and then could not see the project.  Quit and Aperture will not open the library but I can open it with iPhoto.  Sure enough, the imported photo does not have the photo or exif metadata.  However, if I create a duplicate of the exact same photo from the master directory in the library and import it again using iPhoto, the metadata appears.
    So, definitely an Aperture issue.  Will try another reinstall.
