[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I received my free UV-IR filters directly from Leica in Germany via Fed Ex today. I read the little instruction sheet in each filter and it says, "Leica 6-bit coded lenses are necessary for the use of this filter with the Leica M8." I do not have any of my lenses coded yet. Should I use the filters or not? In the menu, one cannot turn on using the UV-IR filter without turning on lens detection. What has been the experience of LUGgers in using their UV-IR filters without coded lenses? Good idea or not? Thanks for your advice... Ken Lassiter, Boynton Beach, FL
