Hi,

I aquired a new lens and find exiftoolGUI 4.12 based on exiftool 9.59 unable to recognize it.

The Pentax makernotes report the LensType as "Unknown (8 12)" in the GUI.

Can I somehow help in supporting exiftool to recognize the lens?

It's a Pentax K-mount "Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 DG OS" lens.

Thanks!!  You have given me all the information I need.  This lens will appear in ExifTool 8.60 when it is released.
