That is the easy part. They have not done anything with the images yet to see if some form of image modification is possible.....whether it is vignetting or something else/ The interesting report I want to read is on the coding and in-camera modification of the image dependent on lens. To date, I have not seen a report that states, with proof and independent repeated testing, that the body does anything image wise with the coding. It should be easy to test, but no one here seems motivated to do it. Maybe on the LUG, the owners are not hackers as much as on the Forum. The long range implication of hacker coding, if it does indeed modify the pixel content, is independent users' image modifications.... think vignetting, think Bokeh, etc.... sort of a image "look" tool. Sure, maybe it could be done in PS, but maybe not ..... It is an opening for independents to make their $2800 50/1.4 ASPH look like a Summarit, Hektor, Elmar, Anastigmat, or whatever..... It is good for Leica.... Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net
