Duplicate Camera Lens under filters?

    On the same camera? Has the lens firmware been updated perhaps? If you look at the 30 images and the 9 images can you work out any common factor?

    Ian, same everything. I see nothing that should separate the 30 images from the 9.

    I have an apparently similar problem with the camera model, where both cameras, a DSLR and a compact, appear twice in the filters.
    However, in my case the reason is that it's separating the images that have been edited and exported with another editor, then imported into the C1 catalog.
    Maybe this might give you some clue as to the kind thing to look for?

    Boris, that is not the case in my situation. None of the images were edited or exported with another editor, they are still the original DNG files.

    Is it separating the DNG files from thew RAW files?

    No, they are all DNG files, untouched straight out of camera.

    Hmm, ok. I didn't know you could get DNG files soc. Please excuse my ignorance. I thought cameras could only produce their own proprietary raw files which can be converted to DNG, originally with Adobe, or now with C1 (and maybe others?)
    Oh well, all out of ideas now . . . for now . . .

    Boris Tomsic - my understanding is that some brands of cameras use DNG as their raw file format (Leica, I think, but there may be others).

    Ian Wilson, you are correct. My camera (Leica) uses DNG as its raw format. So...any Capture One experts here that can answer the original question? It seems that every single question I post, no one has the answer or fix. Not a good way to compete with Adobe, is it?

    As I mentioned, the reasons it's happening in my case might not be the same for you, and same with others' suggestions, but give you a clue to the kinds of things to look for. There should be some explanation, not necessarily a problem with C1 but something most likely peculiar to your images, your camera/lens, your situation, or something on your computer. You need to think laterally, look outside the box.
    What about the image dates. Are they separate ranges in each group? Did something change at that point? Or do the dates overlap, or totally random?

    Boris, I agree that there should be some explanation. But there isn't. Even when you look at my screenshot at the start of this thread, C1 recognizes them as the same lens. It's not even that one is seen as "Elmarit-M", and the other as "Elmarit M". Both have the same exact identical description. So yes, to me it's a glitch in C1.

    But at least it's pretty minor, compared with other glitches that they seem to now only fix if you buy the next version, or even "sub-version". This is the first time I ever heard of a software company treating 16.1 and 16.2 as different versions that warrant new $$$ thrown at it.
