Originally posted by davemdsn I have noticed as of late that my DNG files no longer contain the lens name. Frustrating, about the last 3700 images do not list lens name in the EXIF so are not searchable by lens in Lightroom. I am not sure what changed. I am using the same camera and lenses and the same software so somewhere one of the links changed their protocol.
Hi,
this is actually off-topic aleready, but let me answer in short:
The problem exists
as of K10D Firmware 1.20 / LR 1.0.
Neither K10D FW 1.30 nor LR 1.1 solved it.
The data seems to be kept as well in the DNG though. I was very happy, when in a german forum the free program
PhotoMe was mentioned (also in english on
PhotoME - Exif & IPTC Metadata Editor). Here you can see also for DNGs under maker notes - lens data the lens type. This small program is really cool.
So my interpretation is, that
Pentax changed their format of lens data and LR hopefully will recognize this in future (
LR 1.2?).
