Odd behavior - LR 3.4 (on Mac) and DA 35mm f/2.4 AL lens
While there are indeed correction profiles for this lens in LR... and LR finds images taken with this lens and applies the corrections properly, LR reports this lens (when, say, you filter by metadata) as unknown. Obviously SOMETHING in LR knows that it's this particular lens. Is anyone else seeing this behavior? -Charles -- Charles Robinson - charl...@visi.com Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Sounds vaguely familiar to me. It was a while ago, but I think that shots with the DA*50-135 are tagged as unknown in the metadata if imported into LR before LR had an update that included that lens' information. stan On Apr 27, 2011, at 11:56 AM, Charles Robinson wrote: While there are indeed correction profiles for this lens in LR... and LR finds images taken with this lens and applies the corrections properly, LR reports this lens (when, say, you filter by metadata) as unknown.

Ah, I hadn't thought of that. I'll test with a new image and see if it is identified correctly upon import via 3.4... -Charles -- Charles Robinson - charl...@visi.com Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

The catalog's metadata needs to be updated. - select All Photographs in the Library module, Catalog panel - Set Grid view - use the filter bar, Metadata switch, set the first column to Lens, and click on Unknown - Select all - use the Metadata-Save metadata to file... command to write out all keywords and other IPTC metadata to the file system for this set of files - use the Metadata-Read metadata from file... command to refresh all the metadata for this set of files Lightroom will re-read the original files' metadata and the metadata you output from the catalog this way, integrating and updating all original image files with the newly incorporated lens names. It will not refresh the metadata shown by virtual copies, however, so if you use virtual copies in your workflow you'll still have some unknown lens even for image files which it now knows about. Of course, if you're persistent, you can fix that too ... ;-) -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Slow process though; lots of file ops. I confirmed that the remaining unknowns are various m42's I've shot with, and virtual copies of DNGs. -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

I haven't used the Update DNG ... command in quite a while. The original implementation seemed a little buggy but that was way back in v1.x. My concern is that I have a lot of time invested in metadata annotations: I want to be sure that when I re-read the metadata, what's in the catalog is embedded and integrated with the refresh from the files. I know this method works ... I've just not tested the other one. :-) On Wednesday, April 27, 2011, Charles Robinson charl...@visi.com wrote: On Apr 27, 2011, at 14:14, Bruce Walker wrote: On 11-04-27 2:57 PM, Charles Robinson wrote: On Apr 27, 2011, at 12:46, Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: The catalog's metadata needs to be updated. - select All Photographs in the Library module, Catalog panel - Set Grid view - use the filter bar, Metadata switch, set the first column to Lens, and click on Unknown - Select all - use the Metadata-Save metadata to file... command to write out all keywords and other IPTC metadata to the file system for this set of files - use the Metadata-Read metadata from file... command to refresh all the metadata for this set of files I did something like that, Godfrey - but there was an option on the Metadata menu, when the affected files were selected, to simply Update DNG Preview and Metadata.
