LR Lens Profile - Develop vs. Library Metadata Filter
Jan 21, 2015 17:32:58 #
I recently added the Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 to my arsenal and have been using it quite a bit. However, I have found the following situation in LR5.7:
In the Develop Module, under Lens Corrections, I have found and selected the profile for the Sigma Lens. However, when I am in the Library Module, the Metadata filter for Lens shows "Unknown Lens" for the shots taken with the Sigma.
Is there a way to make the Library Metadata filter aware of the lens used for these shots?

If the data is not in the EXIF data, you can edit/add it using a tool like EXIFTOOL and/or LENSTAGGER, a plugin for Lightroom.
Lenstagger gives you an easy way to add or change EXIF info using EXIFTOOL as the backend.

I use Lenstagger all the time to make all my lens names and data conform to my desires.

Don, thanks much for the tip about lenstagger. The lens info is not currently in the EXIF file, so I will play around with the plugin to add the needed data.
