[Digikam-devel] Unrecognised lens Tokina 10-17/3.5-4.5 DX

[Milan Knížek]

Hello,

I use a fishey Tokina 10-17 / 3.5 - 4.5 DX on Canon 5D MII and the
lense is incorrectly recognised by showfoto as Canon EF 20-35mm
f/3.5-4.5 USM.

exiv2 0.21.1-1 shows
$ exiv2 -pt 2_04.cr2  | grep -i lens
Exif.CanonCs.LensType Short     1  Canon EF 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 USM
Exif.CanonCs.Lens     Short     3  10.0 - 17.0 mm
Exif.Canon.LensModel  Ascii    70  10-17mm

exiftool 8.21-1 shows
$ exiftool 2_04.cr2 | grep -i lens
Lens Type            : Canon EF 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 USM or Tamron Lens
Lens Model           : 10-17mm
Lens Drive No AF     : Focus search on
Lens AF Stop Button  : AF stop
Lens                 : 10.0 - 17.0 mm
Lens ID              : Unknown (160) 10-17mm
Lens                 : 10.0 - 17.0 mm (35 mm equivalent: 9.8 - 16.6 mm)


I assume that before lensfun database can be updated for the various
corrections, it depends on identification of the lens from Exif,
doesn't it?

Can someone advise on how to proceed to help the developers to recognise
the lens from Canon's Exif?

Regards,
Milan
