Question

Unknown Lens

I have a couple of old Sigma lenses which Lightroom doesn't know, so in the metadata I get 'Unknown lens'.

 

I found an article online about using ExifTool / ExifToolGui / FullMetaExport to create a plugin and writing a script to correct the Lens, LensType and LensModel in the metadata.

 

Whilst ExifTool & ExifToolGui are still around, FullMetaExport isn't.

 

So any suggestions for how to fix the metadata, preferably not by editing it for each photo separately?

 

I'm using a Windows PC and my Lightroom is up-to-date.

I've linked to a plugin that should help with adding the lens data https://www.lenstagger.com/#primary and tutorial  https://www.lenstagger.com/documentation/how-to-use-lenstagger/
