dslr - How to find lens information from image metadata?


Is there a way to find out using which lens an image was taken, especially in Ubuntu?


I tried using exif utility which gives me following o/p:


$ exif 20111030.JPG


--------------------+----------------------------------------------------------
Tag |Value
--------------------+----------------------------------------------------------
Exposure Time |1/80 sec.
F-Number |f/2.8

Exposure Program |Manual
ISO Speed Ratings |1250
Shutter Speed |6.32 EV (1/79 sec.)
Aperture |2.97 EV (f/2.8)
Metering Mode |Pattern
Focal Length |70.0 mm
--------------------+----------------------------------------------------------

However, this only tells me the details of the settings which can be achieved using two different lenses. I want to find out the exact brand and model of the lens? Does EXIF store this info?
