Especially since the lens is delivering EXIF, but the camera might also redirect some entries (depending on manufacturer combination of body + lens. I saw that in two apps (Excire and PhotoStatistica).
And that one is sorted after lens model. Sigma hides their company name in a different field.
It must be an ongoing nightmare to get around in all these different proprietary naming systems. Lens and camera companies also alter their naming systems, I assume.
Imagine how easy life were, if there were an EAN code or MAC address etc. for each lens and camera model…
Btw, If you check raw files with a hex editor, you’ll see all kinds of repetitions of information that can include a full lens description and parts thereof.
I just used Graphic Converter to insert metadata into pictures made with a Laowa lens. As interesting as their products are, but no EXIF is a pita. How could I know the differences?
@Raisin54, the Sigma 150-600 DG DN OS Sport in Sony FE mount is in our planning, I don’t have a date of support yet. Here I’ve just provided what is on our short roadmap.
@ScottVincent, I’ll add the Canon EF 800mm F5.6 to the roadmap.
Marie,
does DXO already have a plan for the Viltrox lenses on the Nikon Z mount?
Unfortunately, Viltrox is one of the few companies that can supply lenses for the Nikon Z mount!!!
Okay, I’m loving my PhotoLab to bits and have been doing so ever since I picked it up in 2015. And the work DxO is doing on these optics modules is impressive. And I’m well aware that, as something of a niche player, Pentax/Ricoh cannot and will not take centre stage in your calibration efforts. But here’s the thing: Why must “not taking centre stage” play out like “rare as a total solar eclipse”? And it’s not even like Pentax/Ricoh was churning out new lens designs by the dozens each year, but even at their super-leisurely pace of releases, some of their absolute bread-and-butter lenses remain oddly unsupported. Just to give you a rough indication of the current support gaps:
HD PENTAX-DA FISH-EYE 10-17mm 1:3.5-4.5 ED
HD Pentax-DA* 16-50mm F2.8ED PLM AW
HD PENTAX-FA 1:2 35mm
HD PENTAX-FA 1:1.8 31mm AL Limited
HD PENTAX-FA 1:1.9 43mm Limited
HD PENTAX-FA 1:1.8 77mm Limited
HD PENTAX-D FA 1:2.4 21mm ED Limited DC WR
Don’t get me wrong: All my current Pentax lenses are supported, but I will say that I’ve shied away from buying certain lenses that would have been in my reach because there is such little hope of them ever being supported. I mean, really?
I look forward to 2 modules for PhotoLab. I read in a previous post that the module for the Nikon Z 24-120 was planned for June or July, but I didn’t see anything concerning the Nikon Z 100-400. Is it planned, please? Thank you for your reply.
