Fabian_M8 Posted May 18, 2018 Share #21 Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, I am using an actual sharpie. The black looks quite dense, and doesn't fade easily. Before I start using a dremel and paint I would like to know if there is something I'm not doing right, or if maybe the sensors under the red glass aren't working. -Fabian- Edited May 18, 2018 by Fabian_M8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Hi Fabian_M8, Take a look here EZ Homemade 6bit coding. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Ecar Posted May 18, 2018 Share #22 Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) There are many things that could be wrong... Before attacking the lens with a Dremel, perhaps you could try mounting a factory coded Leica lens. If the code is recognised, you can rule out the sensor as being the problem and investigate other possibilities (precise placement of the code 'dots' being the most likely issue if you are indeed using a fresh Sharpie).

Fabian_M8 Posted May 18, 2018 Share #23 Posted May 18, 2018 Thanks for helping to troubleshoot Ecar. Unfortunatly this is my only lens. In the mean time I will try to be more precise with the markings, see if that helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecar Posted May 18, 2018 Share #24 Posted May 18, 2018 Just go to your nearest Leica dealer - I'm sure he'll let you use one of his demo lenses. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
