scott kirkpatrick Posted May 14, 2010 Share #21 Posted May 14, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) New version of ExifTool by Phil Harvey is up... Best regards, Michael I tried it. It gives a lot of information, and covers many more cameras than just Leica digital, but it leaves the unique ID in hex (why not print out the digital?) and doesn't show the frame lever position (2 of the 8bit lens id in the Maker Notes). If he trusts you on recommendations for Leica M outputs, could you suggest these again? scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mby Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share #23 Posted May 14, 2010 Checked back with Phil, and the Unique ID is actually a string, so in order to preserve forward compatibility, it doesn't make sense to convert into decimal. As it looks, the actual position is not always saved in the metadata, just the recommended one for the chosen/identified lens; if it's a WATE, MATE etc., then the actual position is taken into account to identify the selected focal length of the xATE (only for coded lenses, not manual selection).

ho_co Posted May 15, 2010 Share #24 Posted May 15, 2010 A new baby and a move up to MF, both film and digital, I hear.... Thanks, Scott. I knew I hadn't seen Carsten around, but didn't know why. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carstenw Posted May 25, 2010 Share #25 Posted May 25, 2010 A new baby and a move up to MF, both film and digital, I hear. Hey Scott, Howard pointed me at this thread. Yes, my daughter has kept me much busier than I thought I could survive, and MF digital was exciting for a while, but I then re-discovered B&W film, experimented with both Contax 645 and Hasselblad 2000 cameras and lenses, but ended up in 4x5 (Linhof Master Technika) for now. The MF digital back ended up sitting around, so I traded it for a ZF21 and some cash, and bought a Nikon D3 and a couple of AF lenses to keep up with my daughter, who by now is too fast and erratic for manual focus. The M8 is still here, as are all my main lenses (28 Cron, 35 Lux Asph, 50 Lux Asph, 75 Lux, 90 Cron Asph), although I have toyed with the idea of selling M8, 35 and 75 for an M9 and a 21 Elmarit ASPH. The main reason I stopped posting here, however, is that the contents of the forum have become very repetitive, with new posters not using the search, and just filling up the forum with old questions, already better answered than they could wish for. I used to read all threads in the M8 forum, then I read just the interesting-sounding ones, and then the M9 arrived, and the interesting stuff got spread over two forums, and I just gave up. I poke in from time to time, just to see if anything has changed. Once the M8 and M9 forums are joined, something long promised, and I upgrade to the M9, I will probably return again. For now, I am focusing more on photography itself, and reading photo books, as well as family life and brushing up on new programming paradigms for work.
