Leica Camera Service in NJ is waiting for a machine to arrive from Germany that will be used to test the striping/coding once it's applied to a particular lens. That's what they told me on the phone two weeks ago. (Heck, why not just drive to their local Walmart and see what the scanner says?)

I've fallen in love with my new 25/Biogon, so I can now free up my 21/Elmarit to be placed in the service queue for coding. Probably won't see this puppy again for two months!

I also hope the coded 21mm lens will call up the appropriate mask in the v/f.

Or, all we all goofy since the mechanical mount linkage with the following cam may just work like it's always worked. The coding may only tell the M8 body what eyeball it has and do little else.

We'll see...
