These are the lens data for two of my lenses (Nikon camera):
Sigma Macro 50mm F2.8 EX DG
3031303120270600113A5032545050242435240F541C550000000000000106
Sigma 135-400mm F4.5-5.6 APO Aspherical
30313031103C0E00115C9826447398343C1C3C1765214F0000000000000202
But I can't find out how to decrypt the data
on http://www.exiftool.org/TagNames/Nikon.html you write :"Nikon encrypts the LensData information below if LensDataVersion is 0201 or higher, but the decryption algorithm is known so the information can be extracted." but not a wort about how
So can any one please telle me how to decrypt the LensData ... Thank you "

Out of interest, does ExifTool recognize the lens properly? (ie. what is the value of the LensID tag?)
Use the exiftool -v3 to see both the encrypted and decrypted LensData in hex.

Sigma Macro 50mm F2.8 EX DG is recognize by ExifTool but
Sigma 135-400mm F4.5-5.6 APO Aspherical isn't, because you would expect '26 44 73 98 34 3C 1C 02' for LensID but the real LensID is
'26 44 73 98 34 3C 1C 03'
So now back to my question HOW do I decrypt the data .. I'm not intrested in any program to do the job, I'm interested in doing it my self.
Thanks for the lens information.
The decryption is done in the Decrypt() subroutine in lib/Image/ExifTool/Nikon.pm. You will find this file in the full ExifTool distribution.

Thanks and
The LensId for Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED is normally listed as
'7F 40 2D 5C 2C 34 84 06' byt my observations says : '7F 40 2D 5C 2C 34 84 02'
Thanks!
BTW, what model of camera is it?
- Phil
Hi
It is a Nokon d70
By the way I must be blind. I cant find the source code any where ....
If you want the pictures from taken with these lenses please write me an email : udleveret.ExifTool@Borrisholt.dk

Hi Jens,
If you're on Windows, Nikon.pm file is inside Windows Temp folder, i.e:
c:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Temp\par-YourName\cache-exiftool\inc\lib\Image\Exiftool
Greetings,
Bogdan
Hi Jens,
Bogdan is correct, but sometimes it is easier just to download the full Perl distribution if you want to look at the source code.
Robert Rottmerhusen has copied me on the email you sent him with one image, but I get the expected LensID when I run exiftool, and not the LensID you reported. Did you use exiftool to extract the LensID number? If so, what exiftool version and what system are you using?
Thanks for any help you can provide in sorting this out.
