Brilliant idea! As usual I shoot only the floor as lens separator and I remember for order.

Good idea. From time to time I forget to change the "manul lens" information on my D200. I end up with something totally wrong in the exif!
At least the D200 lets me manually enter information about the lens.

I don't think it could be possible with the EOS 350D though, haven't seen it in the menus anyway.

I'm drooling. On my Sonys I can't enter any info about the mf lenses that I'm using. The only way to get that data into the Exif is to use a chipped adapter (or edit the Exif data on the computer, which requires extra software and seems to be a hazzle).
On Pentax cameras it is possible to enter the focal length manually on the camera, for whatever lens and adapter you use. That's something that I'd like as well.

I still use my venerable little notepad, and always try to have a T-shirt or any shirt on with a chest pocket. I find that this can be done extremely quickly, and it is sort of becoming a part of my "workflow". I don't ALWAYS get it written down, but most of the time I have the data that includes lens, shutter speed, and f:stop. If I am taking several images at different f:stops or shutter speeds, then I just record after those several images are done.
Sometimes it's hard to beat an "analog" pencil and paper.

Wow...I have always wonder when our camera can do that. You know, one that allows users to input a small database of MF lens in the menu.
Attila, have you ever try to publish (sell/shareware) that software? Any screen shots, demo available? What OS is it for? |

What I normally do, is to shoot a picture of the lens that I am going to mount directly before mounting it.
So I have a picture of the lens before the pictures I shot with it...
But I keep forgetting the aperture setting often.

I look forward to betatesting the application on my Windows Mobile-based Imate. However, I have no GPS.
Will it be possible to enter a list of lenses into the application? Then, while shooting, you could just tick of which of your lenses you used.

I go with the old school when shooting B+W. Only with a twist. I put a piece of 2.5 inch wide blue masking tape across the back of my camera. This way I can take the notes there on the body with a little black sharpey pen attached to the camera strap. When the roll is finished I attach the tape to it and know how I planned to develop it based on my exposure notes. Later the tape is attached to the negative sleeve that holds the now developed roll. With digital I have no current system as I guess I don't think it matters. I just keep track of the lens I was using and let the camera tell me the rest.

I make and keep notes about specific shoots.
First info would be lighting and special details about the shoot I only mention the lens if it played some special part.
As I test and only use the lens I know well I don't feel I need to make a note about them, such notes would only be made when I first buy and test them.
I also have loads of notes (A book) on darkroom work and all PP inc work that may have been done for me in past
I have notes going back to the 1970's and I still find it interesting to have a look through them.
There honestly is too much to remember, unless your the sort that sticks to a style/routine to make things easy.
