Tina, I got one. I tried it on four lenses three or four times. I found that
it is easy to misalign and the markings never lasted more than a single
mounting on MY camera. while only working occasionally anyway. Others have
said that they are happy. Personally I wish that it was made of metal and
simply the template. The groovy decoder wheel does work fine but I thought
that the cost was too high for the package. Personal opinion of course. I
returned mine to the dealer who was happy to look after me anyway.

Cheers
Geoff

LUG:

Have any of you tried the lens coder from Tim Isaac for the M8?  I 
ordered it and it arrived today.  It is certainly an elegant 
package.  Very professional looking.  I hope to get around to coding 
my lenses by this week-end and I'll let you know how it works.  Now 
I'll be able to tell which lenses I used for which shots!!  And it 
works for the CV lenses, too.
