Subject: [Leica] M8 with UV-IR filters

I received my free UV-IR filters directly from Leica in Germany via Fed 
Ex today.  I read the little instruction sheet in each filter and it 
says, "Leica 6-bit coded lenses are necessary for the use of this filter 
with the Leica M8."

I do not have any of my lenses coded yet. Should I use the filters or 
not?  In the menu, one cannot turn on using the UV-IR filter without 
turning on lens detection.

What has been the experience of  LUGgers in using their UV-IR filters 
without coded lenses?  Good idea or not?

Thanks for your advice... Ken Lassiter, Boynton Beach, FL
