Subject: [Leica] CODING???? is it really a necessary evil?

But the M9 needs coding even more than the M8 because the fringy
corners are now visible. The edges formerly cut off in the M8 are
vignetting in cyan and magenta in the M9 making coding even more
necessary. The menu is a stopgap but if you change lenses even once a
day the menu setting from the previous lens may still be there and then
if you happened to go wider, you may be stuck with a nasty vignette.
I can't wait to get all my lenses coded so I can forget about the menu
and use the user profiles for different settings that I can apply across
all lenses instead of using the four different user profiles to quickly
set lens coding. PITA.
Price of entry too.
