Description

There is a new Canon lens 35mm f/2 IS USM (Note: There is already an older 35mm f/2 lens without IS).

Lens-ID: 505
I added the following line to src/canonmn.cpp and lens is identified correct

{ 505, "Canon EF 35mm f/2 IS USM" },

#: exiv2 -Pkvt IMG_2108.CR2 | grep -i "lens"

Exif.Canon.LensModel shows some garbage after the modelname.

I've updated the test suite to use the test file provided by Markus. Thank you Markus for providing this.

I'm unhappy about this fix. In an earlier submission, I thought I had this fixed by getting StringValueBase::read to respect the nul as a terminator. Indeed that passed test/bugfixes-test.sh and was submitted. However that fix broke test/conversion.sh and other tests as it prematurely terminated unicode strings.

There is a test in TiffReader::readTiffEntry() for tag Exif.Canon.LensModel and to respect nul. This fix doesn't scale as more instances of this behavior will require special handling.

I've revisited the subject of nul-terminated ascii strings in Canon MakeNotes.

Code was added to tiffvisitor.cpp in January (r2966) to give special treatment to Exif.Canon.LensModel. Although I suspect there are other tags with this behavior, I found no vidence using the files in <exiv2dir>/test/data. For example, the length every string in 01.jpg is correct:

I don't intend to spend further time on this matter (however I suspect it will resurface on another tag).

Updated by Andreas Huggel about 8 years ago

I've undone the changes in r2966 (and related in r2973 and r2976) and added a fix on the output side instead (exactly what you said in http://dev.exiv2.org/issues/839#note-2, Robin): We read the complete tag value from the image but when output to a stream is requested, only write up to the first \0 character. That's more generic and more inline with the general exiv2 philosophy as it ensures the tag value won't change - even if it contains \0 characters - unless explicitly requested.

Thanks for dealing with this, Andreas.
