I love the idea, specially if you include film type, aperture, shutter speed, etc (not mandatory to the pool and not necessary the exactly settings used)
anyway people may get interested and start making notes of it as they shoot, if possible describe how do you do it because I'm not sure how to add the info :-)

This sounds like a very attractive idea. It would be a lot of work but it would be a great forum for people to learn and understand so much more. I for one would certainly participate and contribute to it but not a terrible lot because I am usually frugal with the use of film. I just don't snap as much with it as I do with digital.

Troy it is possible to use a program that will batch convert the Exifs.

I'm new to the group so hello. I think I'll edit the exif data on at least some of my film photos as well. I don't know the data for much of the other stuff but at the very least I can put in the camera that was used. Great idea!

"I'm not sure how to add the info"

I use this and have a simple batch file (windows) that looks something like this which adds the data to all the jpg files in the folder:-

exiftool -copyright="Dave Dunne All Rights Reserved 2008" -Make="Voigtlander" -Model="Bessa R4A" *.jpg

Is there a way to edit the exif data by hand without using one of the downloadable programs?

I don't think so. I use Reveal, it's free. It may only be for Macs though.

Dave Dunne, you can also get a GUI for Exiftool that can be quite helpful.

Join the group:

Film + EXIF

At least the camera make and model should be added so it can be accepted into the pool, do your best about the exposure details to be as accurate as possible, if unsure leave blank, if more and more people start to get interested and start making notes of it as they shoot we hope that with future improvements on Flickr features like search by camera model will be added to film cameras too

So... I decided to give it a try to the EXIFtool...

...I have no idea how to use it :-) do I need to run cmd.exe then open exiftool.exe from there and type the command lines eg: (f/$aperture, $shutterspeed, iso) ? and the thing about directories is making me more confused.

I'm about to try the GUI that jb17kx. posted earlier with the link above, seems to be much easier to use but it works only with XP, in that case I need to go and get my old laptop to try...

meantime I figured out that with Vista is so easy!!

Right click on file> Properties> Details > then add the info: camera, model, ISO and focal range

If you use ACDSee Pro (maybe ACDSee has the same feature?) you can do a batch change information process. Just select all photos in a folder, select batch change info, enter the info, and process. Now if I could only remember to do all the time.

I use EXIV2 to modify the EXIF on my film photos, but when it comes to automate the whole thing this is How I add EXIF tags to film photos.
