I realize that.  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.
