Post your LensType / LensID discoveries here

[mycroft.holmes]

Hello,

I'm a photographer with a large collection of lenses; I was trying to remember which one I used to take a picture, and I came across this:

$ exiftool -lens* -n _DSC3361.ARW
Lens Type                       : 25
Lens Spec                       : 00 0 0 0 0 00
Lens Mount                      : 1
Lens Format                     : 2
Lens Spec Features              : 00 00
Lens Info                       : 100 300 4.5 5.6
Lens Model                      : 100-300mm F4.5-5.6
Lens ID                         : 25

$ exiftool -lens*  _DSC3361.ARW
Lens Type                       : Minolta AF 100-300mm F4.5-5.6 APO (D) or Sigma Lens
Lens Spec                       : Unknown (00 0 0 0 0 00)
Lens Mount                      : A-mount
Lens Format                     : Full-frame
Lens Spec Features              :
Lens Info                       : 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6
Lens Model                      : 100-300mm F4.5-5.6
Lens ID                         : 100-300mm F4.5-5.6

however the lens is obviously wrong (I don't own a 100-300).
Rather, it was probably an old Sigma 50mm MACRO. I understand that LensID=25 corresponds to a lot of different Sigma lenses, so I'm not sure you can fix it, but as they were all primes < 100mm, maybe using the focal length might help?

thanks, MH


$ exiftool -focal*  _DSC3361.ARW
Focal Length                    : 50.0 mm
Focal Length In 35mm Format     : 75 mm
Focal Length                    : 50.0 mm (35 mm equivalent: 75.0 mm)

Could you send me a sample image from your Sigma 50mm Macro lens?  My email is philharvey66 at gmail.com

Also, what is the exact model name for this lens?

Thanks

Hi,

I have a couple of lens that aren't registering correctly. I use a Canon EOS 550D and these are

"Sigma 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 DC MACRO OS HS" shows as:

Code Select Expand


Lens Info                       : 18 300 undef undef
Lens                            : Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
Lens ID                         : 197


"Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di LD 1:2 Macro" as:

Code Select Expand


Lens Type                       : 28
Lens                            : 70
Lens ID                         : 28


Is there anything I can do to improve the detection as the correct lens?

Regards,

Steve.

Hi Steve,

I will add support for the Sigma, thanks.

The Tamron should already be properly identified in original camera images.  If not, please send me an original image shot with this lens (philharvey66 at gmail.com).

Hello,

I use an TAMRON SP 15-30mm A012 with a Canon EOS 6D Mark II

ExifTool 1096 indicates
A False value in LENS ID : Canon EF 300mm f/2.08L USM
but
A Goof Value in MODEL LENS : TAMRON SP 15-30mm F/2.8 Di VC USD A012

Thanks

[Phil Harvey]

Unfortunately that Canon lens has multiple LensType values so I need more information.

What is the output of this command for one of these images?

exiftool -lenstype -n FILE

Thanks
