According to one of the guys at the Leica booth at Photokina, some 
correction (vignetting comes to mind) is applied even to RAW images, 
based on the code. I have no way of knowing whether he was giving me 
marketing speak or the truth, since people have apparently heard 
different things from different Leica sources. I think the jury is out 
on this one until someone puts an M8 on a tripod, takes a coded and 
uncoded identical lens and does some testing.
