Setting value to LensID tag

[jbourgui]

Phil, I saw a couple of archived forum topics on this;  is it possible yet to edit and/or delete Lens or Lenstype or LensID?  I have a fully manual lens that my camera writes incorrect exif data for....  Thanks! 

Canon users: is there a way to tell the camera what lens is attached?  it's a nikon lens, using a chipped nikon-to-eos adapter ring...

Hi Joe,

Yes, you can write the Canon LensType, but it is stored as a number so you must choose from the the existing LensType values.

You can write it as a string, or add -n to the command to write the numerical value.

Cool.  Is it possible to add the Zeiss Distagons (ZF.2 nikon mount) to this list?  I currently only own one of them, the Zeiss Distagon ZF.2 35mm f2.0    This is the lens that keeps getting incorrectly reported by my 5dmkii.  Thanks!

Hi Joe,

To be able add them, I need to know the LensType and LensID reported by ExifTool for each lens.
