ExifTool examples I use for encoding analog camera details

I’m a stickler for detail and love to add exif metadata for my film cameras to my scanned images. These are my notes to self about the data I use most often. I only wish exif had fields to record the film details too.

See the ExifTool site for download and general-purpose instructions. At some point I consulted this discussion. And though it has nothing to do with camera and lens data, I also often reference these geotagging docs.
