I followed the garage style, self-coding method via a sharpie and got the 35mm Summicron-M Asph coded. However, when I pulled out the shot in PS/CS2, in parts of the EXIF, it says Max Aperture: f 1.4.
Is that what you guys got for your coded 35mm Summicron-M Asph? |

I also noticed after the coding, images magenta cast is a lot more under controlled in the AWB mode. The black seems pretty black to me.

Looks like one of the bits might be too close to another and it became a code for the 35mm Summilux. :P
Anyway, I got my 24mm Elmarit-M Asph coded and the MaxAperture = 2.8. |

I tried several times self-coding my Summicron 35/2 Pre-Asph, with a transparent template and everything seem's ok, but mine also show f/1.4 no matter what i do...and i know i got the coding right because i have coded several other lenses with the same template which work perfect...(so i'm sure even 35/2 lenses coded by Leica will show f/1.4)

000110 in my table is the IV (4th gen) 35/2, pre-asph.
Ah sorry! I am mixing up posts. That is already the one you tried. Well, this is even weirder. All 35/2 lenses seem to report f/1.4. Out of curiousity, do you feel like posting a picture of your coding attempt? |

Glad to find this discussion again... I have the new m8 with 1.09 and now the sharpie coding doesn’t work any more and I know it was ok cause I use to have the old m8 1.06 and they worked then any Idea... yes I have turned on the menu for lens detection

My M8 hasn't been fixed, but I did update the firmware to 1.09, and the sharpie coding still works for me. You do have to re-apply the sharpie pretty frequently if you change lenses a lot, though - I find the sharpie-coding scrapes off after mounting the lens only about twice. You can remove the sharpie coding with a small spot of nail polish remover on a tissue. I emphasize "small" - you don't want to get any of this on lens elements, I suspect.

It is a known problem. All 35mm f/2 Summicron-M ASPH lenses are identified as being f/1.4. We were originally told this would be corrected in 1.09 but it was not. I'm now told it will be in 1.10 - we shall see.

I wonder if there are anyone out there who has a Leica-coded 35mm Summicron-M Asph and it says MaxAperture=1.4 ? Anyone ? |

One lens that's a real pain to code is the 21mm Zeiss ZM. There's a mount screw right on where the white-dot is supposed to be. I think it is not as reflective as the lens mount. I read that someone else painted the screw with white-out. Anyone else succeeded with 21mm ZM ?

As I've already written on the forum, I tried to buy from Zeiss a bayonet ring for the ZM 28/.2.8. That ring mounted on a ZM 21/2.8, would bring 28/90 lines, but Zeiss didn't answer my request at all. And before someone asks, yes, all Cosina-buil ZM share the same bayonet ring, only change is the keying flange of course. If you want to know if the self pàinted code works on the ZM21, try to paint the code for a 50 or 75 Leica lens, just for testing purposes, and see if the M8 recognizes the lens. I would do it myself but I haven't the camera yet.. ![]() |
