Description

Exiv2 0.18 does not read the lens maker in all instances. I this case it is a Tamron 18-200mm 3.5-6.3 on a Nikon D300.

This is the output from exiv2 -pt DSC_0009.JPG | grep Lens:
Exif.Nikon3.LensType Byte 1 D G
Exif.Nikon3.Lens Rational 4 18-200mm F3.5-6.3
Exif.Nikon3.LensFStops Undefined 4 5.33333

This is the output from ExifTool 7.60 on the same file:

I have attached the JPEG file (reduced size) and full output from exiv2 -pt and exiftool. Please let me know if you need more data.

From Robert Rottmerhusen, who maintains the Nikon lens database:

I plan to put the lens model in a seperate data field in my own list. It can be an extra field in the c header too, so the EXIF reader can choose how and where to display it.
