lct Posted March 11, 2013 Share #21 Â Posted March 11, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) I can't read your code numbers sorry. I don't know if your template is the culprit or not but i seem to notice that the position of its patches is slightly curved and not straight as it is on my lens coder.

Bucuresti77 Posted March 11, 2013 Share #22 Â Posted March 11, 2013 I can't read your code numbers sorry. I don't know if your template is the culprit or not but i seem to notice that the position of its patches is slightly curved and not straight as it is on my lens coder. Â The code I've posted previously is: " The interesting fact is that (for the sake of test only ) I've manage to mark up the lens with the code of Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH (100000), but I can't leave it like an 50mm because I can't frame it accordingly. My code should be 011101 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted March 11, 2013 Share #23 Â Posted March 11, 2013 OK letting aside 50mm codings, the code which does not work for you is 011101, right? (Summilux 35/1.4 asph) It does work on my CV 35/14 SC so it should work on your 40/1.4 as well if you've filed its flange to bring up the 35mm framelines. All i can suggest is doing like me i.e. using a good coder kit and coding the lens again w/o marking the white patches, it is not necessary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wosim Posted March 12, 2013 Share #24  Posted March 12, 2013 I coded the Nokton 1.4 40mm successfully with a Dremel as a Summilux 1.4 35mm after filing down the flange to bring up the 35mm frame.  Here is a link, where I tried to show how I did it:  https://sites.google.com/site/wosimsphotography/blog-1/lenscodingwithadremelproxxon  Not the best job, but it was the first time and it is really easy. Meanwhile I coded my MATE, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobey bilek Posted March 13, 2013 Share #25 Â Posted March 13, 2013 The frame line projection selection needs to match the focal length coded or it will not work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucuresti77 Posted March 14, 2013 Share #26 Â Posted March 14, 2013 Thanks for the replies ! Â Â I noticed that the CV 35/1.4 have the same bayonet construction as my CV 40mm/1.4 nokton. So the voigtlander flange of the bayonet is not flat (as leica's lens), when I do the markings and mount it on my M8, it will erase some of the upper markings. Last night I've tried several codes. from 21mm to 35mm, but unfortunately the frame line projection selection won't come out in the viewfinder . Here is my procedure: I've marked (with marker) the sensors upon their width, on the M8's margin bayonet , then I've marked the homologue on the voigtlander margin's bayonet, then I've marked the markings on the flange. I've read somewhere that M8's sensors read the marking on the lens with infrared. Maybe my markers used (schneider, staedler ) won't block the ir reading? Someone suggested black nail polish.

lct Posted March 14, 2013 Share #27 Â Posted March 14, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) This Coder Kit works perfectly for me. A Zebra permanent marker is included in the package so you won't need anything else to code your lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornthun Posted March 14, 2013 Share #29 Â Posted March 14, 2013 You can try a marker pen of the brand "edding", they are German made. Another option is "Sharpie". I've tried others, but only the two brands mentioned have worked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmahto Posted June 8, 2015 Share #30 Â Posted June 8, 2015 I stumbled on this thread after not able to code my 40 summicron-c. I filed the tab and it brings up 35mm lines. However any attempt to code this lens just didn't work. I was trying to code it as 000110 (Summicron-M 35mm f/2) using my own coding kit which has worked on 4 other lenses without any issues. Â It seems that the screw creates the problem. No one on this thread has reported success with this lens. If anyone has succeeded then I would like to hear (and learn). Â For my immediate solution is to have a separate profile for this lens (and this lens only). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmahto Posted June 8, 2015 Share #31  Posted June 8, 2015 WHAT ARE THE ODDS !!!!  Immediately after posting the previous message, I gave another try and this time was a SUCCESS !!!         For the benefit of others, here is the picture. I blackened the screw with black paint fully (I used paint pen by CraftSmart) and then added a sharpie mark on the side. This makes it 000110. In my previous attempts the sharpie mark was too close to the screw. Going forward I will drill a hole for the sharpie mark if it wears off.  Look at the picture. Don't give up. If you mess up sharpie mark then simply wipe it off and try again  Welcome, dear visitor!
