![]() 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 |

Well done!
All we need is a database of the various codes. |

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

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.

I suspect this thread will be quickly locked down or simply disappear because it's obviously offending the forum sponsor's business interest.
