For auto detection you need frameline agreement as well as 6 BIT coding
(same as M8)
Manual selection ignores frameline logic all together.
Keep in mind that you can only manually select from Leica designs that have
been available uncoded. Of course you can put anything on and make any
selection.
The camera is applying very considerable correction with any wider lens.
That requirement is part of why it was so difficult to make a 24x36 M9. I'm
currently on holidays at the beach. I shot a few sunrise frames this morning
with both the Elmar 24 and the Summicron 28 (both coded). I can only look on
the LCD currently but I see some HUGE vignetting despite the auto
correction. I need to open the DNGs on my computer at home before I can
comment more. Something does not compute.
