Currently I tediously run exiftools on files where LR (or my camera) won't recognize the lens (such as CV manual focus lenses). What I do is copy new files to disk, run exiftools in the terminal, then import them. Things have got a bit better with the new beta, since updating exifdata didnt' work relaibly before, I suppose now I could use LR to import, then exiftools then update. But how cool if there were a way to run extra commands on import! <span class='jfriedl'>Not possible yet in LR3 )-: —Jeffrey</span> Dear Jeffrey
