[Leica] M not recognizing new Summarit-M 35

[Mark Rabiner]

I was confused because the "Summarit Quartet" came out in 2007.
In digital years that's a long long time ago.  During the reign of Leica M8
the Troublesome.
But then I saw that when they  came out they were f 2.5's. And who the hell
want's a 2.5 lens I never knew that was an f stop?!  They are now upgraded
to 2.4 a real f stop that somebody's heard of and that was just last year in
celebration of 2014. And that was maybe a week after the Leica M 240 came
out so the camera  doesn't even know if its a lens or what. It thinks it's a
tuna sandwich on rye..
Upgrading firmware is scary. Few have ever done it and lived.
