Nathan, my only uncoded lens now is a 35 Summicron ASPH.. I have had no
problems with leaving the menu unchanged for that one. Some Zeiss M mount
lens have a mount screw in the wrong place and can be mis-identified. I have
no personal experience on any Leica lenses causing a problem. If a wide was
mis-identifed it could trip the wrong vignette correction which might be
inconvenient but not catastrophic.
