Lensfun is a library that corrects flaws in photographic images introduced by the lens. It also contains a comprehensive database of cameras and lenses together with their characteristics to be able to apply automatic corrections of images taken with these devices. Lensfun is used by darktable, digiKam, rawstudio, GimpLensfun, UFRaw, and others.
Lensfun contains information about lens mounts of cameras and available mounts for lens models. This way, the calling application can offer the user a list with lenses that fit on their camera in order to pick one. Otherwise, you would see all lenses every time. This can be pretty overwhelming.
But if you bought an adapter for another mount system, you would want to see
lenses of that mount system listed for your camera. So, you must tell Lensfun
somehow that you own the adapter. You can do so by calling
lensfun-add-adapter
.
The easiest way to use it is to call it with no parameters.
lensfun-add-adapter
will then enter an interactive mode. First you have to
enter your camera model. lensfun-add-adapter
will use that to determine
the destination mount. In particular, the extended lens lists will show up for
every camera with that mount, not just the one you entered. Then, you have to
select the mount of the lenses you can now put on your camera, using the
adapter. That's it.
With the options --maker
, --model
, and --mount
, you can avoid
interactive mode by passing the nevcessary data explicitly. If you pass only
maker/model or only mount, lensfun-add-adapter
will enter interactive mode
only for the missing data.
You can also use lensfun-add-adapter
to reset your adapter configuration.
Call it with the --help
paremeter to see all functions.
