Title: Nikon lens: G VR s
Post by: Storhaug on November 23, 2010, 05:32:41 PM
-LensType reports for a friend's Nikon lens: G VR s

I assume, this lens is missing, isn't it?
I can find out the description of the Nikon lens if it is missing?

Use -LensID.  For Nikon, the type of lens just reports the lens capabilities.

LensID should return the lens model name for all camera models.

Edit: I just noticed that there is an "s" at the end of this value too, just as the lens name you reported in this thread (https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php/topic,2957.0.html).  Similarly, this "s" does not appear in the LensType of any of my Nikon samples.
