arnold kaufman Posted March 14, 2010 Share #1 Posted March 14, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just purchased the new .95 Noct FYI very nice lens but mega bucks however worth every cent. Don't know if there has been a post re: this subject? So here goes, shot my first few pic. downloaded images in Photoshop CS3 & checked the metadata & noticed the lens data indicates 50mm max. aperature value as 1.0 not .95. Since I use both the 1.0 & .95 I cannot determine which lens was used unless I write it down. So I guess until there is a Firmware update this will be a fact of life. Any other shooters using both versions of this lens? If so what do you do? I know many will think this is not a big deal or not worth talking about. But it really is. PS I have been trying to perfect my skills with this particular lens for many months, I'm getting very close love this lens both versions.

tdtaylor Posted March 14, 2010 Share #2 Posted March 14, 2010 If the lenses are coded, LightRoom displays the specific lens in the Develop Window (Command I). I just checked, and it even tells me which version of the 50mm Summicron. Also, set up the base information with the Pull down menu View>View Options. As for Photoshop, I believe you are out of luck. I'll leave it to others to respond in reference to other programs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnold, Maybe this is the answer: Leica M9 firmware update to be released on March 15, 2010 | Leica Rumors “Max aperture value” in EXIF data corrected for the following lenses: M 35mm/f1.4 (11869, 11870, 11860) M 50mm/f0.95 ASPH (11602) etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnold kaufman Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share #4 Posted March 15, 2010 Thank you so very much, this firmware upgrade will solve my problem. Arnold Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jev Posted March 17, 2010 Share #5 Posted March 17, 2010 Arnold I usually use exiftool. I am on Mac so before I process the photos I can run a small script in terminal window. I do it not just for Nocti but also for any CV or other lenses I have. This way I get a metadata for lenses correctly in Lightroom or any other program. Just create a script for every lens you have, you don't need to be a programmer to figure it out. Also I have 2 sets of scripts for M8 and M9 as focal length is different Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With being able to change the original dng it should be easy to make a skript that -saves the guessed aperture as aperture -saves the lens data for uncoded lenses As you can use shell code in AppleScript/Automator you can make a simple servicemenue item to use from within Aperture (select all pics of one lens and then run the script via the service menue). Do you have any additional information? Sven Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
