Subject: [Leica] Inconsistent lens detection on M 8

Gene,  I am using a Sharpie fine point marker and a kit called Coder Kit 
made by Match Technical.  Got it on eBay from China.  Just saying that makes 
me think I need to check their horseshoe shaped template against some others 
available on the web.  The code marks I am using are from LHS website. And 
they line up to where the sensor is on the camera when the lens is mounted.

How are they coded?  I do know some methods are not very reliable.

Hello all,  

I am just getting around to coding my lenses.  I am getting inconsistent 
results.  My 28mm f2.8 and 50mm f2.8 show up fine but my 50mm f2 and 
Voigtlander 50mm f1.5 and 12mm f5.6 are not detected.  A Voigtlander 35mm 
f1.7 was not detected on the first shot but detected on the second.  Any 
ideas why the inconsistency?  richard
