IF you have a Dynax 5d, can you give me the Lens that you use ? I very 
interressed to improve the Exiv2 lens detection with Minolta makernote 
implementation.

take a picture with a lens and scan the jpeg file taken using Exiv2 command 
line tool like this:

exiv2 -pt MINOLTA-DYNAX5D.JPG | grep LensID

if you have a number instead a string description of the lens, please give me 
some details about the lens. I will add this one into Exiv2 library.

Note: Exiv2 is used by digiKAm to manage Exif/makernote/iptc metadata from 
pictures.
