This is almost identical to #1372 and you can fix it for yourself with the file ~/.exiv2 If you need further assistance from me, please supply a test image.

Yes please assist.
I can't manage to read out the lens ID. Attached you'll find an image. As far as I can see using exiv2 Canon does not store the lens ID in the EXIF data.

Great! Thanks. It works for exiv2. BUT
Unfortunateley:
Darktable still sees a Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 IF EX DG HSM, at least for existing images it has imported already.
Also re-importing a folder didn't change the behaviour.
(By the way, how do I install the latest version of exiv2? I extracted it temporarily in some local folder.)

I don't think you can "install" exiv2 into darktable. You have to get a build of darktable that uses exiv2 v0.26. You'll have to check with their web-site. Or you may be able to build darktable with the exiv2 v0.26 sources. You can use the utility lsof to find out which version of exiv2 is being used by darktable.
rmills@rmillmbp-ubuntu:~$ lsof | grep exiv2 | grep darktable darktable 3583 rmills mem REG 8,1 2676904 664173 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexiv2.so.14.0.0 rmills@rmillmbp-ubuntu:~$I've just installed darktable with
$ sudo apt install darkable and it's using libexiv2.so.14 which is Exiv2 v0.25. I straightened up the numbering with Exiv2 v0.26 and the library is libexiv2.so.26.
My Linux VM is Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and it was created a few weeks ago for Exiv2 v0.27 development. So it's mostly unpolluted.
rmills@rmillmbp-ubuntu:/usr$ find . -type f | grep libexiv2 | grep -v -e share ./local/lib/libexiv2lib.so.0.27.0.1 <--- That's the Exiv2 v0.27 RC1 (which I'm developing) ./lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexiv2.so.14.0.0 <--- That's Exiv2 v0.25 (delivered by the Linux Gods) rmills@rmillmbp-ubuntu:/usr$I don't think I can say anything much more about this. You'll have to ask the folks at darktable (with whom I have a friendly working relationship).

Thanks a lot for your assistance. I'll try to forward the issue to the darktable guys. Hopefully they will launch another release soon.
I'd assume they always include the latest libexiv2 libraries into their builds.

Hard to say. Pascal has been very active in back-porting Exiv2 changes into earlier versions. It's possible that libexiv2.14 (Exiv2 v0.25) has the code to read ~/.exiv2.
You'd be doing me a favor by downloading and using Exiv2 v0.27 RC 1 from http://exiv2.dyndns.org All feedback is helpful. It will not harm your existing darktable installation.
