treeplanter Posted June 9, 2015 Share #1 Posted June 9, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) A friend is loaning me her M-240 for the next month or so. I have a bunch of old Canon FD lenses that I can use on it, but I'm specifically interested in using an old Canon FL-F 500/5.6 lens. This is a Fluorite lens (outstanding). I have the appropriate adaptors (A Leica LTM-to-M adaptor and the Canon Lens Mount converter so the lens does mount on the 240 and works. A quick test yesterday showed really impressive results. Just wondering if it's possible to "key in" the 500mm focal length from the lens selection menu. From what I read in the manual, you can do so if using a "R" lens adaptor, but that's not what I have. Maybe I'm making a big deal out nothing, I like what I saw yesterday, but still, it'd be nice to be able to key in the 500mm focal length. Jim B.

dpitt Posted June 9, 2015 Share #2 Posted June 9, 2015 AFAIK the lens settiing is most effective for focus lengths 50mm and below. Al you gain with tele lenses is the name of the lens in EXIF info. And EXIF can be updated in PP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmahto Posted June 10, 2015 Share #3 Posted June 10, 2015 ..... And EXIF can be updated in PP. I have found it to be not trivial. You need to use special programs and it complicates workflow. LR doesn't do it. Not sure of others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted June 10, 2015 Share #5 Posted June 10, 2015 Short answer: No. The manual input of R lenses which will appear when you use a coded adapter limits itself to the most used R lenses. One cannot input focal lengths as such. It s not a big deal anyway, just tag at input in LR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmahto Posted June 11, 2015 Share #6 Posted June 11, 2015 LensTagger. LR plugin. I tried it and it does the job for non-virtual images but the virtual image metadata didn't get updated. Have you found a solution? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmahto Posted June 11, 2015 Share #8 Posted June 11, 2015 Never mind. I figured it out. You need to make the virtual copy as Master and repeat the process. It is painful in some cases where I have multiple virtual copies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
