823 - camera lens not correct

[Volker]

After importing images the 'camera lens' shows an incorrect type. I searched through my images and assume that this feature had been introduced with build 819.

Could you please email me one of your pictures to support/at/daminion/dot/net?

Using this small utility you can easily grab your screen activities.

Hi,

Hello,

 

as far as I understand the priority to read the tags it should be this one as described in the document:

1. XMP:AUX:Lens,

2. EXIF:MakerNote:Lens,

3. EXIF:Lens

 

Is there an old release, an error in the documentation or am I wrong? I can't find the tag EXIF:MakerNote:Lens.

In may case (DNG-file) it should be read from EXIF:AUX:Lens.

 

No problems so far - tested with 825 build.

Hi Uwe,

 

did you do an import with 825? I have this issue when importing with the current version. Images imported with an earlier version show the correct lens values.

Hi Volker,

 

just imported into a shared and a local catalog a DNG and JPG. No problem with 825 build.

Some of my images come up with f/1.0.

 

Wish I owned some of those lenses... but I don't.

I want such lens too :) We'll check the problem with Nikon lens recognizing on the next week.

Not only from Nikon but also from Tokina.

Hello,

 

I scanned my shared catalog and found 3 JPG items with camera lens tag: "-7-2mm f/3.5-5.6". All photos where taken by a Nikon D5000 and the Exif:MakerNotes:Lens = 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6.

But, and this is maybe important, there are also 3 DNG items in the catalog with the same Creation DateTime made by a Canon 5D, Lens = 70-200mm.

Is it possible that the trouble comes from these 3 pairs of items with the same time stamp? The pattern of the focal length point to this assumption.

This issue should be fixed in the 826 build

Hi Murat,

 

I just upgraded to build 826 - the behaviour did not change.

I see the following info using the 826 build with your images:

 

 

 

Could you please select these images again and invoke "Item > Actions > Read Tags from File" command to re-read metadata from images.

Did you send me a sample image where the lens info is displayed incorrectly? I've checked my inboxes but did find nothing.

I see the following info with 826 build on your images:

 

 

 

Could you please select these images again and invoke "Item > Actions > Read Tags from File" command to re-read metadata from images.

 

Thank you for the hint! Works fine now :-)
