ID the lens for EXIF data recording To enable the onboard FW to do something to the image, lens specific. Theoretically, there is no FW applicable to the 35mm FL...... or so goes my understanding..... Since the name of this lens appears to be the same as the previous 35 Lux ASPH..... if there are any differences between versions of floating elements or not, there may be no reason to think that there will be no new coding..... OTOH, the desire to Market new technology is a big wow factor right now..... Curiosity asks..... Has anyone seen a list of all the possible binary codes, and what those codes bring up as lenses on the M8 or M9? 6 Bits = 64 different lens possibility.....36 so far have been taken...... Note: there is a different code for the 75 Summarit, Summilux, and Summicron..... all of which presumably do not use any image enhancements in camera.... The only reason to code them differently is to ID the lens in the EXIF data. Ditto all the 90's.
