Hi Phil

Using  exiftool -lenstype# shows following:

255 for Canon 5DIII with Sigma 24-105mm F4 DG OS HSM | A
169 for Canon 5DIII with Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM | A

Thanks again
Mark

Hi Mark,

Thanks.  I've added the 24-105.  The other lens will still be identified as "Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM".

Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM for Pentax has ID 8/31

[Phil Harvey]

Great!  That fills in a missing value nicely.

For the Pentax 645Z there are two new ISO values:

Unknown (36) means ISO 102.400
Unknown (39) means ISO 204.800

(From Photokina playing with the thing)

The new Sigma 150-600mm F5-6,3 DG OS HSM Sports on Canon is reported back as Canon EF 400 f5.6. Seems a double use.

Thanks.  I'll add these:

            34 => 64000,
            35 => 80000,
            36 => 102400,
            37 => 128000,
            38 => 160000,
            39 => 204800,

This may have just missed the 9.71 release, but it will appear in 9.72.

Thanks, but I need to know the numerical LensID number because Canon itself seems to be inconsistent with this lens.

The lens ID of the Sigma 150-600 sports is 172

[Phil Harvey]

Excellent, thanks!

Hi Phil,

Where is the Lens Database so can check if any of my lenses are not listed.

Hi Ken,

They are all listed in the Tag Name documentation for the appropriate camera manufacturer.

The Samsung NX lens 16-50/2-2.8 reports back as Unknown (13)

Here is a raw from the NX1 with that lens: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/samsung-nx1/YSAM_0665.SRW.HTM

There also is an Unknown (3) Exposure mode in there.

[Phil Harvey]

Thanks!  I'll add this lens.

Samsung has been writing an invalid EXIF:ExposureMode for a number of models.  I don't know what it is supposed to mean, but it would be problematic to add support for this because it would open the window for ExifTool to write this invalid value too.
