$(EXIF.CROP_FACTOR)
$(EXIF.FOCAL.LENGTH)
Steps to reproduce
- enter any of these in the copy and import variables
- either a blank is returned in the case of the $(LENS) variable

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in darktable 5.4.1 using the copy and import variables $(LENS), $(EXIF.CROP_FACTOR), and $(EXIF.FOCAL.LENGTH), then compare their results with the image information section. Trace the copy and import variable handling and confirm that the three variables produce the corresponding EXIF data rather than a blank value or 0.0.
