Description

I found out that exiv2 does not handel following lens correctly:

Lens name:
Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro 1:1 VC USD (Tamrons website)
Tamron SP AF 90mm 2.8 Di VC USD Makro 1:1 (also often found, e.g. shops)

Lens' product page:
http://www.tamron.eu/lenses/sp-90mm-f28-di-macro-11-vc-usd/

Note:
There are two lenses from Tamron share the exact same name (but different optics/electronic), an older version (known by the internal code F004) and the newer (code F017). (Here is an overview off all Tamron 90mm macro lenses https://geizhals.at/?fs=Tamron+SP+AF+90mm+2.8+Di+VC+USD+Makro+1%3A1+f%FCr+Canon&in= ).

$ exiv2 -pt _MG_2698.CR2 | grep -ai lens

$ exiv2 -V
exiv2 0.26 001a00 (64 bit build)
I found following realted names in http://dev.exiv2.org/projects/exiv2/repository/entry/trunk/src/canonmn.cpp#L755 :
  1. Tamron 90mm f/2.8
    (is this this http://www.tamron.eu/lenses/sp-af-90mm-f28-di-macro-11/ lens (an even older than the F004)?
  2. Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro
    (is this the F004?)

I hope i have included all needed informations

Thank you in advance for fixing it

Good News, you can fix this for yourself! When I run your test file, I see: 

537 rmills@rmillsmbp:~/gnu/exiv2/0.26 $ exiv2 -pa --grep lens/i TamronSP90mmF2.8DiMACROVCUSDF017.JPG

It's possible to change the value of Exif.CanonCs.LensType by setting it in ~/.exiv2. The value of this tag is 254:
538 rmills@rmillsmbp:~/gnu/exiv2/0.26 $ exiv2 -pv --grep lenstype/i TamronSP90mmF2.8DiMACROVCUSDF017.JPG 
0x0016 CanonCs      LensType                    Short       1  254
539 rmills@rmillsmbp:~/gnu/exiv2/0.26 $
You can declare that in ~/.exiv2 as follows:
[canon]
254=Matze's Tamron Lens

539 rmills@rmillsmbp:~/gnu/exiv2/0.26 $ exiv2 -pa --grep lenstype/i TamronSP90mmF2.8DiMACROVCUSDF017.JPG 
Exif.CanonCs.LensType                        Short       1  Matze's Tamron Lens

I haven't forgotten your patch. We've been undertaking a major change for v0.26.1 and have broken the build and test suite. Since I returned from vacation last week, my priority has been to get everything stable and I hope to achieve that today. I've got a couple of patches and 2 pull requests to deal with and hope they will be done this week.
