How does the code determine which lens to choose when enabling the option guess lens?


I have seen many times that the algorythm can't distinguish between

Canon EF 75-300 USM IS
&
Canon EF 100-400 USM IS

when the focal length is in the "shared" range.

Does the code look at the exif fields short focal and long focal length to select the lens? If not then perhaps it should as that information is entered in EE in the lens list then the guess will be much better.

bump - i'm interested in this, too... i've had to play some tricks here and there to get the proper lens to show up at times...
