Albert Andersen Posted July 26, 2013 Share #1 Posted July 26, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) It seems the metadata for the lens have changed compared with the M9. M9: Leica Summilux xxxxx M240: Summilux xxxxx It means, when searching for pictures taken with a specific lens in Lightroom you have to search twice, because pictures taken with M9 have the Leica name included in the lens name, and the M240 have not. Are there others there have made the same observation? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Hi Albert Andersen, Take a look here M 240 Lens detection metadata. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
pico Posted July 26, 2013 Share #2 Posted July 26, 2013 Can't we just search for a partial string, "Summilux xxxxx"? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
01af Posted July 26, 2013 Share #3 Posted July 26, 2013 No, the lens metadata haven't changed. For a 6-bit-coded Summilux-M 50 mm Asph, for example, the metadata stored in the image file are: lens type = 32, frameline = 3, focal length = 50, max. aperture value = 1. The names you're seeing in Lightroom are Adobe's interpretation of these data. No idea why they're coming up with different lens names, depending on the camera model. An interesting observation anyway! Until now, I haven't noticed, but now I'm seeing the same issue in Adobe Bridge CS6 (with Camera Raw 8.1). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Andersen Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share #4 Posted July 26, 2013 As an example you can see how the lenses show up in LR. All lenses beginning with the Leica name is from the M9 camera It is the same lens used with both cameras. Welcome, dear visitor!

01af Posted July 26, 2013 Share #5 Posted July 26, 2013 As an example ... They don't just leave out the "Leica" name—they also switch from the American style ("50 mm f/1.4") to the German style of lens description ("1:1.4/50") but leave out the "mm" and stick to the decimal point. Weird! That doesn't make any sense. What's going on in Adobe's heads? New person in charge needs to make things different, for the sake of being different, in order to feel important?
