Amend the ActionName and ActionSet to suit.

#target photoshop
if(documents.length){
if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined)  ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript");
xmp = new XMPMeta( app.activeDocument.xmpMetadata.rawData );
if( xmp.doesPropertyExist("http://ns.adobe.com/exif/1.0/", "FocalLength" ) ){
var fl= xmp.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_EXIF, "FocalLength").toString().match(/^\d+/);
switch(Number(fl)){
    case  50 : doAction("ActionName","ActionSet"); break;
    case 70 : doAction("ActionName","ActionSet"); break;
    case 105 : doAction("ActionName","ActionSet"); break;
    default : doAction("ActionName","ActionSet"); //any other focal length
    }
}else{
    //No Focal Length
    doAction("ActionName","ActionSet"); 
    }
};

Hello Merlin Super

If i want to,now, treat pictures from a specific camera (use serial number modele)

do i proceed like this...

if(documents.length){ 

if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined)  ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript"); 

xmp = new XMPMeta( app.activeDocument.xmpMetadata.rawData ); 

if( xmp.doesPropertyExist("http://ns.adobe.com/exif/1.0/", "SerialNumber" ) ){ 

var fl= xmp.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_EXIF, "SerialNumber").toString().match(/^\d+/); 

switch(Number(fl)){ ..... etc
