irix 15mm (canon) is considered irix 11mm

Hello,

The issue is that the camera (canon 6d) stores in the metadata that the lens is irix 11mm and when I edit (in my case in Darktable) does not apply the proper geometrical corrections because it does not identify the lens well.

The lens is presented as 11mm f/4 to the camera.

I have lowered the correction profiles for Adobe that IRIX has hung on its web (Support - Irix lenses were designed with both the effort and experience, of not only engineers, but also photographers. Swiss precision and Korean innovation create), I have lowered the profiles for 11mm and 15mm, I have opened them with a text editor and it turns out that IRIX uses the same target identifier in Canon frame:

IRIX 11mm profile extract, in bold the target identifier code:


stCamera:MakeCanon</stCamera:Make>
stCamera:Lens11mm</stCamera:Lens>
stCamera:LensID60</stCamera:LensID>
stCamera:LensInfo11/1 11/1 0/0 0/0</stCamera:LensInfo>
stCamera:FocalLength11.000000</stCamera:FocalLength>

IRIX 15mm profile extract, in bold the target identifier code:


stCamera:MakeCanon</stCamera:Make>
stCamera:Lens15mm</stCamera:Lens>
stCamera:LensID60</stCamera:LensID>
stCamera:LensInfo15/1 15/1 0/0 0/0</stCamera:LensInfo>
stCamera:FocalLength15.000000</stCamera:FocalLength>

As you can see, both profiles use the same target identifier, a full-fledged veneer, which means that both targets are presented in this way to the camera and recorded in EXIF.

In case of doubt I went to the page of the Exiftool project, they have a list of all objective identifiers (Canon Tags).

Well, as confirmed, ID 60 corresponds to IRIX 11mm f/4, a second entry for IRIX 15mm f/2.4 would be missing.

Is there a way to fix this?
I reported the problem also in the exiftool forum.

Thank you very much in advance.
And I apologize if my use of language has not been appropriate, I had to use the translator because my English level is very bad.

Thank you very much.

A greeting,

Welcome!

Yes, use the ~/.exiv2 (or exiv2.ini on Windows) config file. Or select the lens manually from the dropdown list in the lens correction module.

And please feel free to search the forum, there are many topics on lens detection.
