But that means I have to go back to pencil and paper and keep track of what lens was used with what shot if I want to apply the correct profile. Bummer. I actually set up my Nikon D7000 to record some rudimentary info in the EXIF for the three converted lenses I have now, but I always forget to tell the camera which lens is mounted. Too much of a hassle.
