Subject: [Leica] 6-bit code as installed by Leica

I got my 28/f2.8 Elmarit back from Leica today with the 6-bit code added.
I must say that to my eye it looks like rather shoddy work. Somehow when you 
send a lens to Leica and pay $150 to have this done, you'd think that they 
would mill in straight lines, clean up their mess, and then paint inside the 
area that they just milled.

I think I'll do my Summilux myself with a Dremel and some nail polish. I'm 
sure I can do as well as they did.
