Hi

With my Pentax K7 and K5 cameras, when I imported the raw images into Aperture, the lens that I had used was always shown.  I have just bought a K3 and imported my first set of images and the lens info shows as ‘Unknown’.

I used an appiication, Exifer, to compare the EXIF info between a K5 and a K3 image.  It seems that with the K5, there is a ‘Manufacturer Notes’ section that contains additional information including a field called ‘Lens Type’ which on one image showed 8 242 00 (I think it was a 12-24).

The EXIF for the K-3 is showing nothing at all in the ‘Manufacturer Notes’ section so I presume that is why Aperture is not able to derive and show the lens used.

Am I missing a custom setting somewhere that populates this info in the EXIF or maybe the firmware is just not populating this data in the K3?  Does anyone else in the forum have a K-3 and are you seeing the lens type when you view K-3 images in Aperture?

Thanks
