Description

The changes made in #136 now reads the canon maker note but it doesn't return the correct value. For example for the linked pictures it returns 0 for lens type and empty string for lens model: IMG_1782 (Medium).JPG.zip piano.006.zip

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the Canon Makernote parsing logic, particularly the changes introduced in PR #136, and compare with the Exif specification for Canon to identify the cause of incorrect values for lens type and lens model.
