steich Posted March 11, 2007 Share #1 Posted March 11, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, I just managed to hand-code my CV15. As there is no other 15mm lens, I just used the WATE code. Now the EXIF shows "18mm". Yes, I am glad it worked at all- but wouldn´t it be nicer to have the "16mm"? How can I reach that?

Yes, I am glad it worked at all- but wouldn´t it be nicer to have the "16mm"? How can I reach that? Stefan Can you post a photo please Stefan - showing the mount and the coding? I was not able to code mine since the mount is cut away where the marks need to go and I cannot find the alternative adaptor mount is not cut away in this manner. Thanks!

marknorton Posted March 11, 2007 Share #3 Posted March 11, 2007 Hello, I just managed to hand-code my CV15. As there is no other 15mm lens, I just used the WATE code. Now the EXIF shows "18mm". Yes, I am glad it worked at all- but wouldn´t it be nicer to have the "16mm"? How can I reach that? Stefan You can't. The camera currently knows nothing about the selected focal length and the value of 18mm seems to be a stop-gap until V1.10. Then, we're expecting a menu item somewhere where you will dial in the focal length you have selected. So, with a WATE on the M8, you will select the focal length, select the finder view on the Franken-Finder, making a quick mental adjustment for the crop factor (why couldn't they do a sticky to put on the FF for M8 users to overlay the standard focal lengths with the effective ones on the M8? 16-18-21-24-28 would become 12-14-16-18-21) and then select the focal length on the menu. What a palaver! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steich Posted March 11, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted March 11, 2007 @mark I don´t like that term "FrankenFinder". Better to say BKMO ("Boris Karloff Memorial Optics")... @tashley I´ll post photos later. I used an old Leitz adapter that has no cutout.
