Boys and Girls --

The encoding of lenses is a complete waste of money.

It offers nothing in the way of image improvement.

Zip. Zero. Nadda.

This was basically confirmed (or at least not denied) by Leica at the M8
Leica Akademie in Wetzlar back after Photokina.

All it does is put the lens focal length in the EXIF data. Even this is
imperfect for Tri-Elmar users.

Save your $$$ for something useful, or at least fun.

Dave.
