How to read aux:Lens from xmp image info?

[Detonate]

Heya! Any update on this?

I've been scowering the Internet trying to figure out how to pulls Lens data for my Nikon DSLR.

Came across many posts about EXIF, MakerNotes, etc, etc... And finally I decided to download a complete EXIF reader to find out exactly where and what data is stored.

What I found is that info that is stored in the "Maker" section on unedited pictures, is moved to the XMP section on photo's edited in Photoshop. Which all of mine are.

I'm desperately trying to extract the "Lens" information. But heck, I wouldn't mind being able to grab some of the other info in there as well.

Ulitmately I want to take this Lens info and have a Small Icon of the lens used with a link to Nikon's site for that lens.

I still haven't heard from him if I can use the code. I probably clean it up this week and get it to work somehow.

Cool! Keep me in the loop.

I have a few other ideas that would be based off of this concept. If you are interested in earning a commision, contact me offline and I'll tell you what I'm looking for.
