    Now that the site extracts and reports exif data with images, it's reporting too many decimal places for some data. For instance, "f/6.40", or 1/1700.0000000000002 sec.

    It's also doing something strange with data from my GFX 100s medium format camera. It's pulling the lens' equivalent FF focal from the exif and reporting that along with the actual focal length which it places in parentheses.

    Camera: GFX100S ISO 100 87(110) mm

    I realize the numbers being reported are probably actually recorded in the exif data exactly that way, but software on a photography site should be programmed smart enough to not print it out that way. I've never seen f/stops carried out to 2 places before.

    Another suggestion - can the exif data be displayed at a reduced size? It would make for a more pleasant display under images.

    Thanks, Rich

    I've already reported this one. Hopefully, fixed soon.

    If those are real examples, I'd like to know more about them.

    As it happens, I've measured a load of shutter speeds to 4-5 significant digits recently. For example, at a setting of "1/125" I measured a shutter speed of 1/(120.14 +/-0.02) s.

    :-)

    Yes. I've copied and pasted the data the site displayed for one of my images.

    FWIW, I no longer see exif data posted under that image. I also don't see exif data for a lot of other images that I know had the data displayed previously.

    Something strange is going on.

    The new server should fix these issues. I know Martin is working on it.

    It's not always the website. I remember seeing some pretty stupid lens exif for Sigma Quattros over there

    It is related to the backend code the website uses to extract the exif from image files.

    It should be a simple fix. The code just needs to round the shutter speed's denominator to the nearest integer.
