wattsy Posted August 14, 2011 Share #21 Posted August 14, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) doesn't the official leica coding cost the same? About 100 dollars? Not any more. I remember it cost around £70 in early 2007 to have coding done by Leica but I think it costs at least twice that nowadays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wda Posted August 14, 2011 Share #22 Posted August 14, 2011 There is at least one alternative UK Leica repair specialist, (in Herefordshire I believe), with a good reputation. Can't remember his name, but a search will bring up those recommended my members. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maccaco Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share #24 Posted August 15, 2011 I don't really see the big advantage of this one.., 100 dollar for a peace of metal... doesn't the official leica coding cost the same? About 100 dollars? From Spain to Germany send material insured costs about 60 euros. If I add that to 100 dollars, I think there is price difference (total). Also, if it does not work, I get back to the original... I found a provider in USA. I'll try Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpalme Posted August 21, 2011 Share #25 Posted August 21, 2011 That's too much money.. I use a sharpie. Yes it may rub off but seriously it's all of about 5 seconds to put it back on and I'm simply cognizant when I change lenses so I haven't remarked them in months.

maccaco Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share #26 Posted August 29, 2011 Very kind of you thanks. I received the ring, I joined it and it works! Good price ($58 all).

lct Posted August 29, 2011 Share #27 Posted August 29, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Great! No focus problems? Edit: As yes i did not understand why they sell 5 holes adapters. In fact, you use it on a 6-screws lens don't you, so the 6th screw is not used any more, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making rapid tests (0.7m, 1.5m 3m, 4m, 5m and infinity), there seems no focus problems ... and yes, a screw is left over (which is 6-bit code) ... When I download photos to my laptop I get some tests ... I'm happy! :D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
