Coding for Nokton 50mm f1.1

Thanks Mark - that's useful to know.

 

Th M9 differs from the M8 in having a lens detection list, accessible via the MENU button, in which the Noctilux f1 and f1.2 are listed separately, so the coding may be different - although I've never seen a code for the f1.2.

What coding are people using for the Nokton 50mm f1.1?

 

The menu on the M9 gives a choice of codes for the Leica 50mm f1.0 and f1.2 lenses.

 

I would experiment with several codings, not only for 50mm lenses, including none (which often works fine IME) On the M9 it is the position of the lens exit pupil which effects the colour shift which needs correcting, not the angle of view, as it is on the M8.

I have no idea where the exit pupil is on the 50mm f1.1, but it could be nowhere near either Noctilux leading to neither of these being much use...

Of course if you find a setting which corrects the colour fine and is near enough on the vignetting (it is pretty well impossible to imagine that both will be identical to one of the Leica lenses) it may well result in a strange value for "lens" appearing in the exif data.

I really think these independent lens makers should get their fingers out and provide lightroom profiles for their lenses on a M9.
