Smart Projects ordered by "Lens model" – is it possible?

I have 3 lenses on my Nikon, and I'll have more, but I still didn't find a way in Aperture to organize my library according to a Lens.
Let's say I want to create a Smart Album containing only the photos taken with the 50mm. How do I do that? I could use the "Focal Length" parameter, but that would only tell me the focal length.. I could have a 50mm photos taken with a 50mm lens, but also with a 18-70 lens, in which the 50mm is contained.
Nikon's CaptureNX app can read the information about the lens on the RAW file – if a photo is taken with the 18-70 lens, it will say "Nikon 18-70" and so on. It would be nice if Aperture could read it, too (and other brands/lenses of course), if it's embedded in the RAW files it shouldn't be a problem.
Anyway, is there a way to do it? any workaround?
thanks

If you go into list view for a project, you'll get a whole lot of columns which sort the images. One of these is focal length (there's also a 35mm equivalent focal length column), and you can manually sort by lens length by clicking on this column heading. So Aperture does store and use the lens length info, but I don't think lens length is a searchable piece of info used by smart albums.
You could manually order by lens length, and drag and drop these images into a normal album yourself if you really wanted to group images by lens (length)?
I guess in the meantime you submit feedback asking for this feature, sit back and wait for v1.55 or 1.6 etc.
Hope that's some help, and anyway, size isn't important; it's what you do with it etc etc.

Pentax Lens Model Data in Aperture

I have finally figured out how to get Aperture to display Lens Model EXIF data for Pentax cameras.
The problem is that Aperture is looking for that date in one specific field, but Pentax stores it in another. The solution is rather like what we did back when Aperture could not import PEF files. Using exiftool, it's possible to copy the the lens model data from the field Pentax puts it in to the field Aperture expects to find it in.
This is a procedure you can use (a) for importing new pictures and (b) modifying selected pictures in your Aperture library.
Assuming you've installed the exiftool library, here are the steps I have used successfully:
1. Have the pictures you want modified in a folder +in your user folder+. For this example, we'll call the new folder "lenschange." These might have been exported from a project or imported from a camera. I have verified this works on PEF and JPGs.
2. Open the terminal and type the following command exactly except put your actual user folder name in place of "YourUserFolderName":
exiftool '-Lenstype>Lens' /Users/YourUserFolderName/lenschange (hit return)
It will take exiftool a while to do this. It will open each file, move the lens model data, and write a new file, renaming the old one with _original at the end of the filename.
3. Import the new files into Aperture wherever your want them.
You should now see the Lens model data in the "Lens Model" field for the EXIF data.
Clunky, yes; but if you really want that data visible in Aperture, this is (for now) how it has to be done.

clawhammer, OMG that is VERY strange. Given what I have read like using exiftool in terminal and sRGB vs adobe profile that this works is odd. Obviously the theory that Aperture is looking for the lens info in the wrong place is not totally true.
Here's what I did with one Pentax. pef image. In the adjustment HUD in the 'RAW Fine Tuning" brick (Aperture 2.1.2) I switched from 2.0 to 1.1 then back. For a very quick moment I saw the lens info appear in the metadata for Lens. But it went right back to blank. BTW the 1.1 image was awful (green!). So I tried the same thing with 2.0 to 1.0 and back. This time it stuck and I can see the lens info "smc PENTAX-DA 50-200mm F4-5.6 ED".
To me this is very weird. Obviously it is there somewhere AND accessible to Aperture but either Apple or Pentax is screwing up. Now this is only one image but now I'm thinking can I use Automator or AppleScript to run through my whole library to make the correction (man this would take a lot of time). And then how could I automate this on download.
I'd be forever grateful if either Apple corrected what now seems like a very simple problem or some script guru solved the library conversion and the download issue with a one step process. Clearly the info is still there so HEY APPLE FIX THIS!

Lens Model

Just purchased a new lens (Canon 24mm 1.4L II) and imported some photos into Aperture 2.1.4.
I use the metadata field for Lens Model in some albums, but what I just noticed is that the Lens Model for this new lens simply says "24.0 mm" and not the full name of the lens. This is not the case with any other Canon lens I own--including some images I have from an older version of the same lens. All the others have the full name of the lens in this field. Anyone else having a similar issue.
I've already tried the update EXIF from master.

Thanks for the responses.
I think I've figured this out. My camera (Canon 5D) recognizes all lenses by name, as long as the lenses were in production before the latest firmware update. For the 5D, the latest firmware update was the 1.1.1 early in 2008. My new lens (24L II) was introduced after that and therefore my 5D will require a new firmware update in order to recognize the name. The problem has nothing to do with Aperture. I downloaded a trial version of Lightroom and imported some photos in there--same problem.
Does anyone know if Canon ever updates firmware on cameras that are out of production--like my 5D?

EXIF data LENS MODEL information is not displayed

I have imported my photos into Aperture 2.0.1 and notice that in the EXIF data, the Lens Model is blank. I know the information is in the RAW image file because when I open it with other RAW converters I can see the lens information that I used to take the shot. I am not sure why this information isn't showing up or how to get it to see it or display it.
Don't know if it matters but I shoot with a Pentax K10D.

The lens data doesn't appear for my K10D either so I guess it does matter. The images I'm working on were just imported into Aperture 2.0.1. I've switched between Raw 1.0 and Raw 2.0 with no change. The field is still blank. It's get the focal length right so I expect the data is there. I'll bet it works fine for most of the Canikons.
I really would like to be able to use this field for searching. I'll keep checking though.

Aperture 2 and Lens Model

Is there a way to have Aperture 2 (after import of 1.5.x Library) go back to the original files and populate the new Lens Model field?
Thanks,
Michael

I appreciate the help but I'm more confused. I don't see it in the metadata panel for EXIF Expanded or Photo EXIF (the only two EXIF choices I see). I don't see any checkbox for hiding empty in either the panel, preferences, or menus. When I use EXIF Expanded I do see some empty fields but there's no field that says anything like or has any information the info like lens model.
Boy, I'm really baffled by this. I've been using Aperture since it was first released so I'm not exactly new to this. I can find this info easily in Lightroom but I can't find it anywhere in Aperture 2.

Lens Model in EXIF list?

Has anyone found a solution to the problem in which Aperture does not report which Lens Model was used to capture an image? Every other app I have does this (ACR, LR, DxO). This is rather important information to me and, in many instances, is one of my primary search fields.
There was a thread about this several months ago, but the issue was unresolved and the topic was closed:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1270763&#1270763
I use a 20D and about a half-dozen lenses and, often, it's quite useful to sort by lens type. Note that this data is not contained within Aperture's full list of EXIF Tags as, I believe, it is a manufacturer-level tag.
Dual 2.0GHz G5 + MacBook Pro 2.0GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I haven't seen a solution yet, it would be a nice addition. With my present lens set-up it's not such a big issue as non of the focal lengths cross each other but as I increase the lenses I have it will start to become a pain.

"Lens Model" metadata field

I have been using Aperture 2 version 2.14 for about a week. Yesterday I noticed that a master showed one lens model and a version of that master showed another. The correct data is associated with the master and is "EF24-70mm f/2.8L USM" but the version shows the lens as a "Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 DG MACRO or Tokina AT-X242AF 24-200mm F3.5-5.6" which I do not own.
The subject photo was taken in the last few days so it's not a legacy photo from my previous software.
Has anyone noticed this before?

To the best of my knowledge this field is just text - Aperture does no translation of any kind on it so... This is the most funky thing that I have ever heard, it would sort of be like someone saying something like "Hey I have a Nikon D3x and a couple of my .NEF RAW files spontaneously turned into .CR2 files and they work and say that I have a Canon 40D but I don't even own a Canon, can somebody tell me why Aperture did this"
The answer is that Aperture didn't do it.
Bring up the RAW file that is a problem in the finder or export that master from Aperture and use another tool to look at the lens model data - it will say the same thing. If it does not say the same thing then this is the most whacky data corruption issue I have ever heard of where random data just happens to match up with actual lens manufacturers and models that actually exist.

Lens models selectable for CR2 files, but not selectable for JPegs

Hi,
When applying the lens profile for CR2 images, Lightroom displays in extensive list of lens models to choose from. The list for CR2 images includes the Canon 18-200 IS lens that I use. However when developing a JPeg only image, the lens model list only displays about 20 canon lens models - which unfortunately doesn't include the Canon 18-200 IS lens. Any help appreciated to enable selecting the full list for jpeg only files?

What you're seeing is what's available. The lens profiles are for either jpg or raw, and there are fewer jpg profiles.
You could download Adobe's free utility that creates lens profiles and roll your own, or use the lens profile downloader that comes with the aforementioned creator to possibly download a profile for your lens created by another user (if one exists).

SSDT Project hangs when the model comes up

I recently brought over a Tabular Analysis SSDT project from my work laptop to my own personal laptop. I managed to bring up the model, successfully deploy the model to SSAS on the same personal laptop (Weds).
Today when I went in to bring up the model, the system hang, CPU usage goes up to 100% and there is more than enough memory and disk space.
Any ideas would be appreciated and thanks.

Problem with project ordering in AppleTV

I've got 484 projects I want to sync to AppleTV. The problem I'm having is that I can't figure out how to order my projects by date - the only available options are name, kind & manual.
Can anyone help?

Mr Endo wrote:
mother,
Heh - Mothra, actually
Those are the only options in the Inspector for ordering projects. However, in any view you can order all photos by date.
Are you sure that ordering within Aperture will make them ordered outside Aperture (I.e., will they be ordered that way on your AppleTV)? There was a thread recently concerning someone dissatisfaction with how things ended up being ordered outside of Aperture.
Yes - what happens in AppleTV is that everything becomes an album, and the sorting order is exactly the same as Aperture's left-hand sidebar under "Projects & Albums" so, for example, if you have a bunch of "Smart Albums" first, they are listed first.
In my case, after the Smart Albums, I have my projects stored in folders named after the relevant year, so 2001, 2002, etc. Although these folders are listed in chronological order, inside each folder, I haven't gotten around to sorting the projects in date order (because this currently has to be done manually).
So, in AppleTV, what I get is a long list of albums - first the ones in folder 2001, then the ones in 2002, and so on. But the order of those albums is exactly the same as in Aperture, so a project with photos taken in June may appear before another project with photos taken in February... unless I drag the projects into the correct order in Aperture and then resync.
I suppose I now have some manual sorting to do, but thanks for your help!

Camera model and lens model

Just a bit confused about this in the metadata. Every time I reopen Ap 3. the camera and lens info on the metadata has gone. I then need to select all the photos I want the data for and in metadata click " update from master ". When I close that project and reopen the information has gone again and I need to repeat the procedure. Am I being stupid here by missing something obvious ??

Stola,
I am willing to share my lens profiles with others and I have sent this profile directly to Adobe and it is in the database, accessible from Photoshop CS5.
I will have to send you the lens profile as an attachment since a Lightroom user cannot access the lens profile database, according to what I have seen on this forum. You can send me a private message with your email address and I will send the file to that address, it is an 83 kilobyte file and is for RAW images, the NEFs, shot with the D700. I took 120 different images, not 27, to develop this profile, so it is a good one that I invested a lot of time in developing.
In order to send a private message to me with your email address to mail the lens profile file to, you would click on my name beside the post of the topic, and then when the menu comes up, on the right, choose "Actions", "Send private message", and then compose the note to send me your email address within the private message, unless you want to post your email address on the forum, which robots can obtain and then spam you with advertisements, etc..
