Hello MickO,
Yes, it would be interesting to know...
For example, I have a Canon CR2 photo, or I see well on all the software "Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 USM" and PM6 insists on showing me "EF75-300mm f/4-5.6 USM" !!!
[...]
What is strange is that this is the only photo that presents this problem.
It's also my only photo made with a Canon 50D.
What amazes me is that {lenstype} does not give the right lens ... As if {lenstype} was not looking for the right variable in EXIF ...
I attach the photo, if it helps...
So this photo in my Photo Mechanic, the {lenstype} variable is showing "EF75-300mm f/4-5.6 USM" and the EXIF for "Lens Model" is showing "Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 USM" ... so the lens seems to be correct
I'm sorry but for me "EF75-300mm f/4-5.6 USM" is not at all the same as "
Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 USM"
Where's {lenstype} going to look for this field?
and as I said you can use Code Replacements to tweak how that appears.
Yes, as already said, that's what I do... I use the {source} field to correctly reformat the name of the lenses.
You mentioned that {lenstype} was NOT showing the correct lens? I noticed that there is also some EXIF label in there that shows
Label Name 4 : Kamanjab, Felides, Canon EOS 1D, Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM
is that what you meant about showing the wrong lens? I am not sure what wrote that tag into EXIF, but Photo Mechanic is not using that for {lenstype}
Yes, this photo is not of me.
I didn't remember the camera model and the lens model.
That's the reason for the fields with bad data.
(This photo has been catalogued successively by Iview, PhotoSupreme, Mediapro, Lightroom... PM5 and PM6
)
Kind regards

I hope to be comprehensible with my English "Bing Translator")
