Fellow Magicians =)
I am unsing a lot of manual lenses. For thos of you who didn't know yet: You can get really really good glass from the pre-digital photography era for ridiculous small amounts of money. In most cases these lenses can be mounted on a digital slr by using an adapter. Metering through the lens works just as it does with modern lenses, but there is no communication between camera and lens. This means that no exif info from the lens is written to the file. This includes: Lens Name, f/Stop, focal length.
There are some semi-convenient solutions to add this information afterwards to the file. I know that ML settings like ISO and shutter speed are written in the exif. And therefore I was wondering if it would be possible to build a module which writes lens info to the exif.
This Module would need to have an option to enter Presets and choose between them when changing the lens.
For example: Lens Name: Helios-44M-4 58mm f/2
Focal length: 58mm
Maximum f/Number: 2
f/Stop: X
Is this possible? Can I write it by myself as a non coder? Can I ask for your help please? =)))
Thank you all for your great work so far!!!
