justj Posted March 23, 2014 Share #1 Posted March 23, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am wondering if anyone can help me out here.

Advertisement Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Hi justj, Take a look here Lens info not showing on EXIF. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
albireo_double Posted March 23, 2014 Share #2 Posted March 23, 2014 I assume you are using a 6-bit coded lens. If not, then the camera doesn't know what lens you are using, unless you set that info manually. If you are using a 6-bit coded lens, try to clean the registration window on the bayonet (on the body, about 5 o'clock position when you face the camera, with the lens off). This could become dirty if you ever used a manually coded lens - the ink from the felt tip pens used to do the coding can become spread over the bayonet and smudge the read-out window. Also try a few different lenses. If none of this works, then I'd guess something is wrong with the 6-bit read-out system in the camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
justj Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted March 24, 2014 Thank you Albireo for reply. It looks like cameras coding sensor has stop working. My Leica M is very buggy and has had numerous issues. Can't believe now the coding sensor's packed up too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had the same problem, but it was not a bug. EXIF for the lens is only showing when shooting DNG. I have by mistake change to JPG, maybe you have done the same. I contacted Solms, and they confirmed this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jpg was indeed the issue, I now change back to DNG and lens info comes back again.. Cheers! by the way, when I send the jpg picture to Leica, their customer support told me they can still see the Lens info. I don't know how they can see it as it clearly not showing on mine.
