EXIF and Nikkor lenses

[Razbak]

Hello all.
New guy here from Cairns Australia.

I have landed here from a camera forum - a DxO forum.

Ppl there are talking about the lack of ability to create a profile for manual lenses - as opposed to lenses that are electronically linked to the camera including the lens, f stop, zoom position etc which becomes available as exif.

The manual lenses have no such info so when editing cant correct aberrations.

One of the forum members suggested this information can be created here for manual lenses, thus enabling me to transfer information into the DxO editing program to correct the image being edited.

To say the least I am dazed and confused but interested if this command line information about my lenses can recoup valuable information.

I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thx

The best you could do is to mimic an existing lens because no app would recognize metadata that you inserted for a manual lens.  In Nikon files, you would need to write a number of tags associated with the lens to achieve this.  Most of these are found in the LensData structure, but there are a few more you would need to write.

Thank you Phil
Im a complete newbie here and think this would be to much for me to enter into.
