That is pretty neat and clearly one of the big benefits of a full DAM program. However, on a Mac you can accomplish the same goal with slightly less elegance/speed using a standard spotlight search (which allows metadata including camera, lens, and ISO etc etc) as criterion. If your workflow requires you do this kind of search every day then clearly this would be a stupid workaround. But for many/most photographers finding an image by camera/lens/iso etc is a rare occurrence and the extra few minutes to do it by the Finder are negligible.So--to make a long story short about the 85 f/1.8--I simply went to metadata search, chose all dates, all cameras, 85 f/1.8 and I got every shot every taken with that lens. The metadata search is one reason why I like LR--though I am keyworded--sometimes just generically (when I import) and often more deliberately.
