One problem solved, one remains:
1.
There is no problem with LR 5.4. My mistake was that I had originally imported the images in LR 5.2, which was unable to process the Lens Type, but when I updated to 5.4, I forgot that I need to tell LR to re-read the EXIF data. Now that I've done this, LR shows the data as expected.
2.
There is still a problem with Apple's apps (iPhoto, Aperture, Preview).
It's actually two-fold:
With DNGs, the Lens Type is always shown.
However, for JPG and PEF, it depends on the actual lens I was using:
While my DA 21mm shows up, my DA 18-135 DOES NOT.
So, to summarize:
The problem exists only with JPG and PEF but not with DNG, only with Apple's apps, and only with certain lens types, e.g. the 18-135.
Now, can someone confirm this?

Originally posted by waterfall Abbreviated Exif shows in Aperture and Preview. I have been told, and verified on PF posted photos, that full Exif is appearing after export. But, I am not certain and Apple may be overdue for a software update if lens data is hidden.
That's not an issue in my tests - The Lens type is shown prominently in both Aperture and iPhoto, and both show an empty field here in my tests.
@DogLover - I'm using the latest RAW update (5.04), so that's not an issue here, either.
