Yes
Might seem a surreal question but is their any software that will read the EXIF data of load of photos to get the most commonly used ranges?

Im using an 18 - 200 for general and would like (is possible) to see what ranges I actually use.
 
I asked the same question last year and was pointed in the direction of this http://download.cnet.com/ExposurePlot/3000-12511_4-10801402.html

And incidentally I was using an 18-200 lens too :lol:

From what I can remember I tended to use the extremes and there was a bit of a peak around the 85mm mark.

I ended up moving from a 400D 18-200 combo to a 7D 15-85 set up. What I've found is that although I'm missing out on 115mm of focal length, given the superior IQ of the lens and the additional 9MP available on the 7D, there's a lot more flexibility for me to crop where I just can't get close enough...... alternatively I use my 100-400mm :lol:

Adobe Bridge does that

Could you tell me how exactly, because I'm sat here with bridge open, and have no clue how to do this at all!

Edit: Found it! (for specific values) - how do you sum a range??

In Bridge, open up a folder with lots of image files in it, choose the metadata window view and then select filter.

You can then see how many of the files in the folder were shot at the different ISO/exposure/aperture settings

If it's the same as the Lightroom filters then actual focal length used (rather than the lens focal length) is not one of the available filters.
 
bridge shows the actual focal length used
 
just a thought, if you load a folder full of images taken with a prime it may not show the focal length filter?
 
True but then you might not want to average lengths all taken with a fixed focal lens :)

Ill take a look later. I should have enougth photos now but im guessing their all going to be at the high end and low end

In LR 3.2 you can select a focal length option in metadata (as opposed to a lens option, which shows the lens' focal range). Doesn't do an average though - doesn't flickr have something in the stats that collates info like this?:thumbs:
