Hi all:

I am thinking about the lens coding issue with the M8.

From what I have gathered, it seems to be a rather long wait to send M-lens, get it coded, and back again.

Isn't possible for Leica to code just the mount of the various M-lenses and sell these mount? We can then just replace the mount ourselves.

I guess it would only be slightly more expensive as compared to sending the lens and back again. Most importantly, I guess (or hope) that this would be faster.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks
