I am on the road again, so it may be the weekend before I get a chance to do any testing. I have my K3 and HD 55-300 with me, but it is a pretty busy week, with long work days. I will have a look when I get the opportunity and post the results here.

Yet logic says it is a computer program, so there must be a pattern, or sequence of behaviour. Getting to the bottom of the trigger is going to be the trick :)

That is correct, I don't have a 18-135
The only lens I am currently having this issue with is the HD DA 55-300.
I have exported files shot in RAW out of Aperture and checked the EXIF using the Exifchanger software which gives a very detailed EXIF listing, and allows you to make batch changes to files.
For my HD 55-300 files exported from Aperture neither the LensID nor the LensModel fields have any data.
To test whether this is an Aperture or Ricoh K3 software problem, I then shot a JPEG in camera (I normally shoot RAW only) and loaded it straight to my desktop without importing to Aperture. The LensID and LensModel fields are still missing from the EXIF file without having gone anywhere near Aperture.
On this basis I am thinking it is a Ricoh K3 issue - for some reason this information is not being added in camera. Interesting, but that doesn't take me any nearer to an answer :)

Just a quick update on this - I am now home from vacation and have used a number of A, F, FA, and DA lenses on the K3. The only lens that I own that is not displaying the ID (still) in Aperture is the HD DA 55-300 WR.
My conclusion - this is an Apple issue not a K3 one. Correction: it may well be a K3 issue following further testing, see post below
I loaded the latest Apple OSX raw update a few days ago - the problem has not been resolved.

I am on vacation right now, so only have a few lenses with me. I brought the 55-300 at B&H in New York as few days ago. I am shooting RAW only in DNG - so yes the problem is also occurring using DNG

I am seeing the same problem with Aperture and the HD DA 55-300 WR off a K3. My DA Limited show ok in Aperture. So it is not just you. I have latest versions on Aperture and Apple RAW. Latest firmware on the K3
