A topic from the dorkforum leads me here.
When a lens type is imbedded in the EXIF data, is the lens telling
the camera what it is in specific terms (IE: DA35mm f/2.8 macro) or
is the lens sending a trigger value to the camera which then inserts
the correct lens info from a self contained data base?
Thanks

I think I have to agree that the lens name is from an internal body
database. My K10 nor my K20 do not know the lens model when my DA
18-250 mm or the 12-24mm is used, just the focal length at the time
the shot is taken. But in the case of an older FA lens, it does fill
in the Lens Model name, no problem. That might be because neither of
those lenses is manufactured by Pentax, only badged?
