![]() With nothing more than a sharpie I was able to trick my M8 into thinking my Zeiss 21 was really a 50mm Leica lens. Of course this isnt for any practical purpose except to prove it's possible with little or no tools. _mike Flickr: Photos from mike@freedomfromgravity |

A Sharpie... LOL!
The Rat-Cunning of Leica users never ceases to amaze me :?) BTW if anyone does come up with a list of codes, I'll gladly add it to the M8 FAQ topic at: Leica FAQ - Leica M8 Digital |

I've done plenty of shots in the street (architectural and parks) in rather questionable areas with two M6 and a R6.2 masked. You feel somehow safer this way... Regards, Horacio

The coding for many Leica lenses is shown in the images for individual lenses on the Popflash website.

Please keep up the "R&D" on homegrown coding and thanks. If we can find a solution that's more than temporary, it would be very helpful to a lot of photographers. I absolutely love it that people are trying to get this one figured out.
Cheers, Sean |

Popflash is missing a couple from the current lineup: 90/4 Macro, 90 Elmarit, Apo 90 Cron, 135/3.4, 28 Cron, 75 Lux. Can anyone help out with these codes? I am trying to collect them all.

Carsten I have the 28mm Cron. Lovely lens and it is coded.
Best way to do this is lens at camera on postion than put face down. w,b,w,b,b,w I need the 24mm 2.8 and the 35 1.4 asph. Hell i will try the sharpie. i even have colored ones. LOL

Here are the codes from the Popflash photos. 0 = white (no mark with sharpie), X = black, looking at the back of the lens mount in a clockwise direction. Some lenses are missing.
21 f2.8 0XX000 24 f2.8 0XX00X TE f4.0 X0X0X0 28 f2.8 0XXX00 35 f1.4 0XXX0X 35 f2.0 0XXXX0 50 f1.0 0XXXXX 50 f1.4 X00000 50 f2.0 X0000X 50 f2.8 X000X0 75 f2.0 X00X00 90 f2.0 0XXX0X How many Sharpies can you buy for $125? Stan
