Since my Monterey upgrade I can no longer get all the info when I click on "info" for a photo. Missing is how many mm the lens was zoomed to. It used to be there. Also it no longer tells if a teleconverter is attached, but it used to. Am I missing a setting somewhere or is it gone forever? I like to use "Photos" for jpegs and I upload only the the RAW's I want to save to Lightroom. Lightroom still saves all the data, but "Photos" is dropping the ball.

It's there for me. I just took three pictures, all of the same object at three different zooms and the Get Info in Photos on my Mac reported three different lens settings:

So, it used the same lens, but three different settings, 72, 26, and 129 mm.

Are you using an iPhone or a dedicated DSLR or similar? If the latter, then sometimes, not all the info is available.

If you are using an iPhone:

Hard to believe it's relevant, but Jake (and I) have set the camera to take pictures in "High Efficiency". The alternative is "Most Compatible" which always saves the image as a JPEG.

To change between the two options - Open Settings > Camera > Formats > CAMERA CAPTURE - High Efficiency or Most Compatible.

I don't recall the info being different in either of these settings, but it might be worth a try........?

Here are a couple from yesterday with 2 different lenses. The EF 300 also had the TC 1.4x III attached and it's not showing.

Using Canon R7 with EF 100-400. Also EF 300 F2.8 with 1.4XIII extender. It used to tell me how many mm the photo was taken at and now it doesn't.
