But Google has to deal with arbitrary Human input.  LensFun,
however, is supposed to analyse exact data generated by a machine.
In this context, I consider everything non-working a bug.  Besides,
similar lens names may indeed denote different lens models with
different lens errors.

I believe that the fuzzy search would not be necessary if LensFun
used exiv2 names.  There may be fringe cases (e.g. the same lens on
a different body, reporting a different lens name) but nothing to
worry about.

The problem is that the current LensFun database has been compiled
without much quality management.  This needs to be fixed as well as
possible.

Tschö,
Torsten.
