[Leica] 6-bit code as installed by Leica

[Frank.Dernie at btinternet.com (Frank Dernie)]

When I had a CLA on my 280mm f2.8 R lens the UK office offered to fit  
the ROM chip at the same time. The lens had to go back to Germany.  
The fitting of the ROM contact strip was poor - slightly crocked and  
slightly cracked through a fixing hole where either the the screw was  
tightened or the mounting face uneven, but I, perhaps unnecessarily  
generously, assumed my expectations were higher than average. I did  
not complain. The lens was shipped back without its carrying chest  
which contained the palmrest. This took a while for them to find and  
return. The reason I did not complain is that I had already waited  
ages and it was very inconvenient to return the lens. It works fine.
I was not impressed and have subsequently never used Leica for any work.
