[Leica] OT Chipping Nikon Lenses

[durling at cox.net (Mike Durling)]

My understanding is that the maximum aperture is encoded in the chip and 
they have to get the chips from Nikon.  Thus if Nikon never made a 
chipped F1.2 lens then they don't have a chip that would work.

I would love to have a chipped 105/2.5 but can't for the same reason.
