NX2000 & 16-50 PZ EXIF data

I have just purchased the new 16-50/3.5-5.6 PZ OIS for my NX2000 and found out that the camera does not record properly the lens info (lens model) in the EXIF. I have the latest FW on both the camera and the lens and the camera does record lens info properly with 20/2.8 and 20-50.

No big deal but a bit annoying since I can not use lens info for filtering in LR.

That's interesting. What is the version number of your NX2000 firmware?

That wouldn't bother me, but I guess you could try reinstalling updates, but be super careful.

I also have those lens combination and will check later my exit info.

Update:

On my nx2000 with either of these two lenses the Exit shows the focal length of the lens used,

not the lens used.

Thanks mdavidp. Yes, LR does show the actual focal length used for the respective picture, incl. when 16-50 PZ has been used, but does not display the lens model. The lens model is properly displayed when 20/2.8 and 20-50 are used.

Can you try other software or just dcraw or exiftool or some other small utility, it might be LR related?

I suspect a bug in the firmware

I have tried an online EXIF reader and the field where the lens model is otherwise specified does not appear at all.
