Here is a 4 image stack of a newish  to us hybrid daylily. It is a 
semi-evergreen reblooming tetraplod that has won several awards--first 
developed in 1989.  It is tolerant of being close to the street as not as 
bothered by higher tonicities.   I wanted to try out namethatlens and did use 
it.  It seems OK but truncates some names.  Not sure if it puts the lens data 
in all the places it supposed to be.  Moose would  know.

ExifToolGUI and PIE work differently. ExifToolGUI is a straightforward way to see everything that ExifTool sees in EXIF. As a result, multiple entries of the same tag show as multiple lines, in this case, three each for some tags, in the same rather random seeming order of the EXIF entries.

PIE extracts everything, then alphabetizes it all. That makes it easier to use, but , in the process, it combines multiple EXIF entries for the same tag, thus possibly obscuring what's in there. It appears to relabel the tag "LensType" as "Lens ID". It seems likely that, if the four instances of LensType in this EXIF were in different order, that it would show the value: Lens ID:    Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM + Canon EF Adapter

Without the original EXIF, it's not possible to know how much of this duplication and erroneous info is from namethatlens. There's some other dubious stuff in there, as well, but life is perhaps too short to worry about it.

OH, yeah, very pretty!

Big Foot finally got out for some exercise, Mike

Excellent!
