[Leica] Home lens coding

[John McMaster]

I used them until I sent them for CLAs and an upgraded mount at Solms, fussy lenses (e.g. Noctilxii and 75mm Summilux) should not be attempted.  Note that there are three versions (one for each lens pair) as well as differing numbers of mounting screws....

Thanks for your advice John. I was very sceptical, and that you seem to bear that out.
