Description

While calibrating this lens for LensFun I noticed that Exif.Photo.LensModel returns nothing:

exiv2 -PEkt -g Exif.Photo.LensModel -g Exif.Photo.FocalLength -g Exif.Photo.FNumber DSC_2985.NEF
Exif.Photo.FNumber                            F4
Exif.Photo.FocalLength                        70.0 mm
Exif.Photo.FocalLengthIn35mmFilm              105.0 mm

However the Exif seems OK:

exiftool DSC_2985.NEF |grep -i lens

I'm not sure if this is normal or not, or if there is really anything to do on Exiv2 side, but I guess that you experts will know.

I attached a file made with this lens on a Nikon D5500.
