The 35mm seems to be recognised as such anyway, without coding, in the latest firmware on my M8. Perhaps it is the only focal length with its particular frame selector lug dimension???? I find the colour more accurate with filters on at all times too, but I suppose that can be adjusted in the computer if so desired. cheers, Frank On 23 Nov, 2008, at 20:34, Ken Lassiter wrote: > As I begin shopping for my M8.2, I realize that I must have my M > lenses barcoded.
