![]() ![]() You’ll find them in the documentation of the Maker Notes. The homepage of ExifTool lists all the lenses that ExifTool knowns with its ids. So let’s take a look at one after the other:Īs you easily can see is all about identifying the lens by its id. ![]() Ok, ok, Thats a bit too much for the beginning. common_args -n -preserve -overwrite_original What? LensModel="Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG Macro HSM II" LensType="Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG Macro HSM II" Lens="Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG Macro HSM II" LensModel="Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 DG APO Macro" The complete command line in the Extra Options that we use looks something like that – make sure that its all written in one single line without a line break: -if "$pentax:lenstype eq '3 255'" ![]() Here you can write down the complete command line that will be used when calling ExifTool.īesides that you only have to watch out that the file path to the ExifTool is set correct on the first tab of the plugin. The most interesting thing for us are Extra Options on the tab Other options. From this plugin you can control the options of the ExifTool in a very clear way. This tool is in turn used by the Lightroom plugin FullMetaExport that makes the functionality of ExifTool usable in Lightroom.Īfter you have installed both you have an additional menu entry in Lightroom called Library/Plug-in Extras/ExifToolGui. ![]() It’s all based on Phil Harvey’s ExifTool – an excellent command line tool (and library) that can ready and modify virtually any meta data from images.

Sometimes you’re shooting with a lens that lightroom does not know – either because it’s an exotic lens or it’s a rather new lens thats not in Lightrooms lens database. I’ll explain how to get the lens name into the images with a few tricks and a very useful plugin. This tip may be of interest to you if you use a lens that lightroom does not know and therefore isn’t shown in Loupe Info. ![]()
