We can see that no Exif.Photo.LensModel exist, but the information can be found in specific Pentax tag Exif.PentaxDng.LensType (and value is HD PENTAX-DA 18-50mm F4-5.6 DC WR RE).
Why is it not duplicated in Exif.Photo.LensModel tag?
Shall I ask for an issue for Exiv2?
Or if I write code based on Exiv2 to find the lens model, I need to do specific search for manufacturers special tags?

Thanks

JM:

Can you attach your file to this issue please.

There are a several Exif tags involved http://www.exiv2.org/tags.html :

0xa433    42035    Photo    Exif.Photo.LensMake    Ascii    This tag records the lens manufactor as an ASCII string.
0xa434    42036    Photo    Exif.Photo.LensModel    Ascii    This tag records the lens's model name and model number as an ASCII string.
These tags have not been defined in your file.

However, the lens is defined here: 

Exif.PentaxDng.LensType Byte 4 HD PENTAX-DA 18-50mm F4-5.6 DC WR RE
I cannot find documentation for PentaxDng. It's not on http://exiv2.org nor http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ The code defining those tags is stored in pentaxmn.cpp:
     const TagInfo PentaxMakerNote::tagInfo_[]

So the answer to your question: "why is it not duplicated in "Exif.Photo.LensModel?", it is because Exiv2 reports what it finds in the file and does not manufacture data.

If the tags Exif.Photo.LensMake and Exif.Photo.LensModel are important to your work flow, you can easily write a bash script to create this data in your images in your library.

It would be possible to add a function to pentaxmn.cpp (or more likely to tiffimage.cpp) to create "Exif.Photo.LensModel" and add it to the metadata. This code doesn't exist because I don't believe this has ever been discussed! Exif.PentaxDng.LensType is stored in Exif.Photo.MakerNote which is TIFF formatted data. The class TiffVisitor parses embedded TIFF data. You should discover the function that is called by TiffVisitor when PentaxDng.LensType is encountered. At that moment, you should create Exif.Photo.LensModel and you're done. Please note that Exif.PentaxDng.LensType is a 4 byte integer and tags Exif.Photo.LensModel and Exif.Photo.LensType are strings.

If you'd like to submit a patch for this, I'll be happy to review and submit. We're in the final steps of releasing Exiv2 v0.26, so this feature won't appear until v0.27. If you need assistance/mentoring with the patch, I'll be happy to help you once v0.26 has been released. However, I hope you'll prefer (and accept) my explanation that Exiv2 doesn't manufacture data.

Thanks for explanations.
I accept that Exiv2 does not create data, it reports what it finds.

I added the original file in the case it may be useful for anybody.
