Subject: [Leica] Trying to understand M8

Hi all,
 
I'm sorry but I'm absolutely ignorant about digital, I've read the report
for the M8 and I'm trying to understand three points:
 
1.- Viewfinder framelines: If you fit the M8 with a 28mm, the frameline you
will see on the M8 would be the 35 mm focal length frameline?
 
2.- What is the purpose of the 6 bit coded lenses?. If I put an "ancient"
lens on the M8, it should work as well with manual and automatic mode?
 
3.- If the ISO range is from 160 to 2500, and I'm used to be with i.e. 100
ASA, this implies that the minimum ASA for digital is 160?. On this case a
lens with a f stop of F4 could be the equivalent about 3,4/2,8 for a 100
ASA.
 
Could someone clarify me these points?
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Saludos desde Barcelona
Luis
