Advertisement Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Hi Likaleica, Take a look here M240 Lens detection. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
CheshireCat Posted February 24, 2014 Share #22 Posted February 24, 2014 Firmware 2.0.0.11 fixed a few issues in handling some EXIF fields. Ensure your camera is updated, although the new firmware may not fix the issue discussed here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRJohn Posted February 24, 2014 Share #23 Posted February 24, 2014 The lens type is not part of the M240 EXIF in the jpg. However, the M9 did record the lens type in the jpg.I guess this is called "innovation". People who are bothered by this should write to Leica customer support.

genefama Posted March 5, 2014 Share #24 Posted March 5, 2014 My M240 shows in Lightroom as "Unknown Lens" for JPGs but not for DNG files (I usually shoot a color raw and a B&W jpg simultaneously). Didn't happen with the M9. With this and the Auto ISO glitch, I wonder why an upgraded model doesn't work in all the ways the old model did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
genefama Posted March 5, 2014 Share #25 Posted March 5, 2014 The main reason it matters is because Lightroom can't recognize and apply lens corrections to the JPG files. Did a different company design the M240 than the one that designed the M9? Why couldn't they just expand the feature set without removing basic functions?

jaapv Posted March 5, 2014 Share #26 Posted March 5, 2014 Ehh... leica designed both cameras. The firmware for the M9 was written by Jenoptik to Leica specs, the M firmware was written by Leica. The info is available, somehow adobe does not read it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthury Posted March 5, 2014 Share #27 Posted March 5, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Well, actually it does; the inexactitude of the aperture data has been discussed since January 2007. The camera can only guesstimate. Yes, it does go below f/1.4 but highly inaccurate with the Noctilux. Much more so on the M240 than on the M9. Not sure why. Even on the 35mm 'cron, wide open at f/2 and it is recorded as f/3.7 in an overcast outdoor shot without any filters on the lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted March 5, 2014 Share #28 Posted March 5, 2014 Quite possible - no big deal and inevitable without electronic feedbackon the aperture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
