I hand coded my Elmarit-M 21/2.8 and its EXIF data showed up  
correctly. I do not have received the E60 filter from Leica yet so I  
can say nothing yet about the cyan vignetting correction with them.

Absolutely.

But I don't see Leica willing to give away free vignetting correction  
to third party lenses producers (Zeiss - CV) when they expect to make  
some money from the new 6-bit-coded mount royalties.

Best,
