Trouble coding a 90 mm

I have tried the 90mm ebay jinfinance screw to M adapter on two M8 cameras and the camera will not read the code.

 

Tried various black paints including those I used on 5 other lenses without a problem.

 

Tried black only,unpainted white which works with my M8

 

code is wwwbbb so I extended the blacks to the between pit areas to take up possible pit location errors.

 

Then I removed the white and used chrome unpainted X 3 + 3 black

 

The adapter does bring up the proper frame lines

 

Anyone else have some ideas?

 

Anyone coding a 90 Summicrion with latest firmware, 2.14, and have the camera work? Perhaps this is a firmware error.

I have no problem with my jinfinance flange on the last 90/2 pre-asph (# 11136). 3 unpainted + 3 black sharpie. No extended blacks. M8.2 + firmware 2.014.

Thanks.

 

I got it to work this morning after doing nothing but wait 24 hours for car paint to dry. The thinner I used, MEK, gives a very hard finish but requires 24 hours after dry to the touch.

 

I am suspecting it has something to do with ir reflectivity to change upon drying or something else the human eye can not detect.

 

I did allow all the other lenses to dry 24 hours and they worked first time.
