Hi, I'd like to set the aperture and focal length values per ExifTool command processor for a fully manual lens. Aperture settings work with:
-fnumber=1.8
-aperturevalue=1.8
-targetaperture=1.8
-maxaperture=1.8
-minaperture=32
-focaltype=Fixed
-focallength=135 mm
-Exif:focallength=135 mm
-MaxFocalLength=135 mm
-MinFocalLength=135 mm
-MaxFocalLength2=135 mm
-MinFocalLength2=135 mm
-overwrite_original_in_place
-progress
-P
{File.FullName}
But the focal length doesn't work for the [EXIF] and multiple [MakerNotes]. I tried it with and without ' mm' and with
'-all:...' prefix but without avail.
Is somewone able to help me?
Thanks in advance, Hans

Did you just google for "ExifTool set focal length"? I found several approaches immediately.
