carstenw Posted February 3, 2007 Share #21 Â Posted February 3, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Carl, you must be right! Interesting, and also interesting that Leica has chosen to offer coding for this lens. Â LCT, do you have any plans to code your 50/2.8 M6J? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkie Posted February 3, 2007 Author Share #23  Posted February 3, 2007 Thanks for posting these Jörg  I think the photo with the lens collapsed at its longest has the depth bar drawn incorrectly? should it not be from the base of where the lens flange is?  any how from your measurements it looks like there is just 2mm clearance! (21mm - 19mm)  I will go and measure my elmar in the collapsed position.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lct Posted February 3, 2007 Share #26 Â Posted February 3, 2007 ...LCT, do you have any plans to code your 50/2.8 M6J? Oh no! My only coded lenses are those i have bought new in 2006. The other ones will stay uncoded until i'm sure that IR-cut filters are a definite solution, which i doubt a little to say the least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
