Just for the record: Yes, Adobe Lightroom does display the XMP:Lens Tag, in fact this is the one it displays, not the Makernotes:LensType tag. Luckily, if the latter is set, so is the XM:Lens tag. Should you lose the Makernotes metadata (e.g. by editing and saving the image with Abode Photoshop Elements), you can set the XMP:Lens tag for all images in a directory tree by issuing exiftool -r -XMP:Lens="Your lens description" your_directory_tree Lightroom will display the lenstype after import or after re-reading the metadata from all the files. Thanxx, Mixx
