I dunno then. What error message? What does it say is wrong?
I never had any issue with Irfanview. If the image file has no Exif in it, the Exif button just shows file name, but it does not fail. You might try to reload an updated version? I have 4.41, and 4.42 is available now.

IrfanView PlugIns
Search that page for Exif... down at JPG_Transform, it mentions JPG Exif. I don't know if it is required, but why not try. The Lossless Rotate it also offers is worth the price.
Note that the plugin link at the top of that page gets it all.

Bingo! It took me a while to realize I first had to copy an image into an infanview folder for the Information menu item to become clickable onable. It was greyed out before and mistook it to be the heading of the menu list instead of an actual entry.
Let all the people say: Doh
The program does capture the lens info I was hoping to get, and a bit more.
Much thanks to both you and Paul.

Not sure how to lable the thread as Resoved or Closed as is the way with other forums of my customary use.

That's not done here. Ha! That way the thread can be resurrected 2 or 3 years later. :unconscious:
Great, glad you got it going. Not sure I understand your procedure, but yes, the image does have to be opened from a disk file. If for example, if just pasted into the program from clipboard, there is no Exif in that screen copy. But if opened from a disk file, the Exif is retained.

Ha... I was following your procedure, or so I thought. Let me clarify.
When I began to explore the infanview download, the menu you alluded to had Information at the top. It was greyed out and not clickable because no pic had been loaded into an Infanview file. I mistook to this to mean it was the heading of the the menu list. In hindsight, this should have been obvious. Once I did copy a pic into a new file in the Infanview folder, the InfanView Menu Information entry ceased to be greyed out and clickable, just like you said.

You seem to be going about this the hard way.
You don't need to Copy the file into IRFanview to see the EXIF data. You can: 1) Associate .JPG with the application so double-clicking on a .JPG will automatically open the file in the application. You do that by right-clicking on a JPG, clicking on "Open With", choosing "Default Application" from the menu and then selecting IRFanfiew from that menu, or 2) You open IRFanview, click on File -> Open and then navigate to the .JPG you want to view/see the EXIF data for.

Yes, I am resurrecting an old thread. I am trying to find the serial number of a lens used for images. Is there a way to do this? I downloaded IRFanview, but the info doesn't show up in the EXIF. Any suggestions?
I don't think any manufacturer does that. Nikon records the camera SN, but not the lens.

I'm thinking it's highly unlikely you're going to find that information. I've never seen that information show up in EXIF data and, frankly, I'd be pretty surprised if it was a part of the data.
Of course I could be wrong but I'll bet you a Diet Dr. Pepper I'm right on this.
You may very well be correct, Paul. In your original post, you X'd out some of the info. Since the lens' serial number was X'd out, I didn't know if you did that, or if the EXIF viewer couldn't read it. Thanks for your help!
