Hi David.
I don't know if you have seen this link. It is the most comprehensive list I
know of.
http://www.digital-leica.com/lens_codes/
You might like to try the different possibilities if you are hand coding.
For lenses where a mounting screw is in the coding area, the common approach
is to fill the entire screw head with white paint until the depression is
filled or nearly so. I used Humbrol model paint matt white. (I coded a
Milich flange for my Zeiss 18)
Some people report that only the black marks are significant, (assuming the
camera reads anything else as white?)
If you needed a black mark overlapping the screw head you could try filling
the screw head with white matte paint and then applying the black mark when
it was thoroughly dry?
