Bill Grimwood -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bill=grimwood.net at leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bill=grimwood.net at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Frank Filippone Sent: Monday, October 07, 2013 10:43 AM To: 'Leica Users Group' Subject: Re: [Leica] M240 Adapter Apparently, from what I have read, the code for the official Leica adapter is set for 110111. the VF frame set choice is set for Novoflex 50/75: Leica 28/90. Both apparently work for right now..... The Novoflex adapter does work, today, but brings up a different frame line setup..... but if Leica changes the FW and checks for the Frame line choice, the Novoflex may not operate correctly in the future..... Bill Grimwood reported: The Leica 22228 adapter works for all R lenses except the Rom lenses. Bill, what does NOT work? Does not physically fit with ROM contacts? If it were my $$$, I would use the 22228 first, see if I like its results, if not, then get the Leica new adapter. The Novoflex adapter apparently has some risk associated with it.... see above..... It is also not clear yet that there is any advantage to telling the M(240) which R lens is mounted..... other than the EXIF file info. I have not read ( and I could be wrong) that there is any optical correction ( vignetting pincushion etc) that the body does with the R lens info...... Selection of R lens is done manually.... Frank Filippone Red735i at verizon.net Interest, so the 6-bit code is specific for bringing up the R lens menu. Then do you select which R lens you have? regards Vick _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
