[Leica] M8 trials and tribulations?

[glehrer at san.rr.com (Jerry Lehrer)]

Frank,

If you think you are so smart, can you suggest any POSSIBLE way that the 
EXIF file could even
detect what aperture is used on each photo? Shutter speed , of course.  
Aperture? NFW!  There
 is no connection 'tween the lens and the M8 body except the RF cam and 
the fixed bar code.
