One annoyance with dx0 is they will only let you use modules for your camera and lens combination.
I’m shooting with a Pentax K5 and most of my lenses are not available as modules.
https://www.zdziarski.com/blog/?p=2698 says you can fake the exif
exiftool -LensModel=”EF15mm f/2.8 Fisheye” “$1″
exiftool -LensType=”Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye” “$1”
exiftool -LensInfo= “$1”
exiftool -LensSerialNumber= “$1″
exiftool -FocalLength=”15.0 mm” -MinFocalLength=”15 mm” “$1″
exiftool -MaxFocalLength=”15 mm” “$1”
$1 is the name of the raw file, this was for his canon but i shoot Pentax and just a few fields are needed
exiftool -LensType=”my fake pentax lens” “$1”
is all that is really needed
exiftool -FocalLength=”15.0 mm”
is handy as you may not have an actual focal length recorded.
exiftool -Aperture myphoto.dng
reads the aperture returns
Aperture : 8.0
to set a value say aperture is
exiftool -Aperture=”5.6″ myphoto.dng
exiftool -ShutterSpeed myphoto.DNG
Shutter Speed : 1/500
exiftool myphoto.dng
gives everything it can find
e.g i found Af Points In Focus :mid right
to just address that tag i need to write
exiftool -AfPointsInFocus myphoto.dng to read
and
exiftool -AfPointsInFocus=”mid right” myphoto.dng to write.
It gets better you can process a directory too.
unfortunately it doesn’t appear possible to designate a new lens name but UniqueCameraModel can be changed.

Pentax LensType Values
The first number gives the series of the lens, and the second identifies the
lens model. Note that newer series numbers may not always be properly
identified by cameras running older firmware versions. Decimal values have
been added to differentiate lenses which would otherwise have the same
LensType, and are used by the Composite LensID tag when attempting to
identify the specific lens model.
