I feels like an ugly hack for circumventing other problems.  The
actual problem is that exiv2 is often not able to provide the proper
lens name, either because its database is not complete, or because
the EXIF data is ambiguous.

Besides, it is already possible to locally add lens entries with a
lens model name like "(123)".

Tschö,
Torsten.
