But as I understand it you do need to update to the latest firmware or you won't see some of the correction. Get a non-permanent sharpie for convenience and try a couple of different codes? You have samples from the coded 50 asph on hand. Please let us know how you go Cheers Hoppy -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Marty Deveney Sent: Monday, 10 September 2007 12:26 To: lug@leica-users.org Subject: [Leica] Six-bit coding non Leica lenses After spending a few minutes yesterday with a Sharpie (permanent pen), the template that's here: http://www.digital-leica.com/lens_codes/template.jpg and the codes that are here: http://www.digital-leica.com/lens_codes/ all my Leica lenses are now read correctly by my M8. If you were going to code a Konica Hexanon 50/2 for an M8, do you think that the code for the Summicron gen III (11817) or the gen IV (11819, 11826) or maybe even some other 50mm lens would work better? I haven't had the Hexanon long enough to be sure. Or am I fussing unnecessarily and for this focal length it doesn't matter anyway? Let me know what you think.
