[Leica] Tri-Elmar and Lens Coding

[len-1 at comcast.net (Leonard Taupier)]

Bob,

Could it be you have a bad switch in the M8? I just received my two  
free coding vouchers from the purchase of the WATE. I will be sending  
in my older version TE so I'll see how it turns out. That's good news  
about the B+W filter. It's not the case with the WATE, especially at  
the 16mm and 18mm settings. The cyan cast is not fully compensated  
for with that filter.

Let us know if you find the problem.

Regards,
Len
