Default Re: Lens Coding

The lens mount is a part of the total system, and for accuracy, there is some adjustment needed after it has been replaced. This cannot be done at home.

It is possible that, with a bit of care, one could remove the mount, send it away to have it coded, and then reattach it, but I am not familiar enough with the tolerances and the construction to say if adjustment would still be needed. John Milich has offered such a service (except for the code's paint, which you would need to apply yourself).
