As far as I know there is no way to do this. Your 50 lux, if the aspherical type, probably have a 6bit coding which tells the camera what focal length it is (and other info).

 

There is no code for 40mm, and neither can you manually enter the lens like on the M9. Fortunately, normal lenses do not typically require much correction. I think you can select the correct lens in LR4 and copy that correction to shots you know are made with this lens. Its a hassle, but way better than nothing.

Better use a coder kit like to prevent possible errors. Now i have no experience with the CV 40/1.4 but as ar as IQ is concerned, i doubt that coding makes a lot of difference actually. I don't code my Summicron-C 40/2, M-Rokkor 40/2 nor Summilux 35/1.4 pre-asph for instance. But i use them on an M8.2. Maybe coding is useful on FF cams like M9 or M240, i don't know.

Sorry, i meant that as far as image quality is concerned, i doubt that coding makes a lot of difference actually. I did not bother to code my Summicrons 40/2 for this reason. Otherwise the CV 40/1.4 suffers from focus shift according to serious reviewers but i have no experience with it.
