[Leica] Coding of lenses for use on the M8

[grduprey at mchsi.com (grduprey at mchsi.com)]

Jeff,

My non-coded lenses are just that, I have not bothered codeing them even 
though I have the M8 set for coded lenses.  I have only 2 coded lenses which 
were coded when I bought them, both wide lenses.  I have not had any issues 
with the non-coded lenses, and get excellent results from them (35/1.4 
pre-Asph, and a 50/2 Summicron).

I would just do a search on the LUG archives for this question, but I cannot 
get the search function to work on the LUG archive site on any of my 
computers lately.

I assume that most of you who use non-coded lenses on your M8 don't send 
them back to the faculty for a retro fitting. What is the favored method of 
coding your lenses? Is there an affordable way to do it without using a 
Sharpie? Chances are, I'll just keep a 35/2 tethered to the M8 most of the 
time.

Thanks in advance,

Jeffery
