Subject: [Leica] Coded or non coded lenses, that is the question

Simple... the camera does no changes to the image from 35mm and up.  28 and
below, and the camera applies some image corrections, depending on the lens.

Otherwise, the only difference is that without the coding, the camera can
not place any info in the EXIF file about the lens being used.

All of this is irrelevant if you wish to tell the camera which lens is
mounted (manual lens input through the LCD and Menu) .. and then it all
works as if the lens were coded.... 

Look at the back of your lens... if there are 5 or 6 screw heads on the lens
flange, it probably can be coded by changing out the flange.  ($20 or so
from EBay)
You may require re-collimation if the lens does not focus correctly... DAG
charges about $125 for collimation.....  Leica, if you decide to go that
route, charges $300 or more to do the entire job,.....

As many good fellows suggested the big M body will be the way to go. 
Now, how do non coded lenses behave in such a body ?
Will, on the other side, non coded lenses be able to get coded by someone,
who does that?
Thanks and regards
Pablo
