Dear GXR users would you please help me with following issue: I would like the focal length and f stop to be show in Light room Histogram and Develop module (very top) as is displayed for images taken by Leica M. At present time I get: ISO 200 – (where focal length of lens use should be) f/1.0 (no matter what actual f stop use) and then 1/45 sec shutter speed. Some of the information is not obviously transferred to Lr from GXR. Is there way to correct this?
 
You'll have to enter it manually, I think. Only the Ricoh lens modules will have their exif info recorded. Download while your memory is fresh, or keep exposure notes (or get the very nice 33/2.5 lens module��).
 
I enter the data in Lightroom afterwards using the excellent LensTagger plug-in. Of course, you have to keep track of the data manually so as to enter it in LensTagger after transferring the pictures to Lightroom
 
I haven't had a GXR in a while, but if I remember correctly:
You can program in different user setting, e.g. U1. Add the focal length and lens info and save it to that user profile. Whenever you select the user on the dial, the lens info, and any other settings you customize, will work.

Because there is no electronic connection to the lens, f-stop will not record. Even on the Leica bodies, I found the recorded f-stop to be an approximation based on ISO and shutter speed vs meter.
