EXIF, Image Events & AS

I want to get the EXIF data from images that have been captured on a Nikon
D100.

I can get some basic data (up to 15 items) using "Image Events" by looping
through the metadata tags. However, there is a whole chunk of useful
information missing like aperture, shutter speed and metering modes etc :-(

iPhoto will display the aperture, shutter speed etc, but I can't get at it
from Image Events.

There is a block of data that I can get if I use:

set otherTags to do shell script "tiffutil -dump " & (quoted form of
myPath) & " | grep UNDEFINED"

Which yields:

"34675 (0x8773) UNDEFINED (7)
492<0x000x000x010xec0x4e0x4b0x4f0x4e0x020x200x000x000x6d0x6e0x740x720x520x47
0x420x200x580x590x5a0x200x070xcf0x000x0c0x000x070x000x120x000x3b0x000x160x61
0x630x730x700x410x500x500 . . ." [the rest snipped]

I reckon that this data is the stuff that I want.

Is there any way of turning into "human readable" format?

Or does anybody know any other ways of getting EXIF data more reliably?

Regards
