LR 4 camera profile recognition


Recommended Posts

Advertisement (gone after registration)

I have two 35mm Summilux's the 11874 ASPH. and the 11873 ASPHERICAL.

 

The manual setting on my M9 can be set to 11873, but when importing pictures into LR it sees them as 35mm Summilux ASPH. So does not discriminate. I was also under the impression that I could not 6 bit code for the 11873, but maybe I can ?

 

If so is there any way of LR recognising the correct 35mm Summilux ?

That's because Adobe's software developers have not yet grasped the significance of the 2-bit frameline code in the LensType tag in the Leica MakerNotes section. Adobe Bridge and Lightroom cannot correctly identify any Leica lens that uses a zero frameline code in the LensType tag.

No, you cannot.

As of now, for you as a user, there isn't. But you can always enter the correct metadata after the fact using an EXIF data editor such as Phil Harvey's ExifTool. That's what I always do which image files taken with uncoded lenses.

FWIV, I have come across LensTagger (if I remember correctly through a forum member), which relies on ExifTool, but offers a very convenient interface to edit the exif.

 

LensTagger Lightroom plugin

 

I use it to identify all my old or non-Leica lenses in LR. But of course, it won't apply a profile...
