Question

Is there a way to manually add aperture metadata in LrC?

I've shot a series of photos using a Canon EOS RP with a 7Artisans 10mm f/2.8 fisheye lens.  This lens is completely manual, so while the RP saves ISO rating and shutter speed, it does not save the aperture value (as this is manually set with a control ring), which means that one must write down f-stops for each photo if one wishes to retain this data.

My question is: is it currently possible to manually add this f-stop data to pictures once they're imported into LrC?  It's pretty easy to edit all sorts of other metadata, but I have yet to discover how (or indeed if) one can manually insert aperture values (which, quite honestly, one should be able to do anyway if required).

Lightroom Classic itself doesn't support adding or modifying EXIF data. However, there are third party plugins that do. One such plugin is 'Lens Tagger'. You can get more info and/or download it from https://www.lenstagger.com/#primary

Thanks Ian.  I'll check out the docs and install it.
