dkCambridgeshire Posted November 15, 2014 Share #1 Posted November 15, 2014 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Would a Canon FD 85/1.2 L lens fitted to a third party 6 bit coded FD to M adaptor, be compatible (after 6 bit painting, as per one of the selected codes http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-news/leica-lens-codes/ ) with the Leica T 'M' adaptor … and if so, should the user-paintable 6 bit code be painted as e.g. 75/1.4 or a 90/2 ?? I have seen a third party "user-'6 bit'- paintable" FD to M adaptor listed at $48 … has anyone tried it on either an M or a T camera? I have an FD 85/1.2 L lens doing nothing - also have an FD 50/1.2L hibernating - thus considering a non-M240 solution. I guess it was considered 'bad form' to offer 6 bit coding for the Noctilux f1.2 Best wishes dunk Edited November 15, 2014 by dkpeterborough Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkCambridgeshire Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share #2 Posted November 16, 2014 I was under the impression that the T reads M lens' six bit codes and applies optimum image correction 'in camera' - but this appears not to be the case as the codes are only used to identify the lens in each image's EXIF data. dunk Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
koelnfoto Posted November 17, 2014 Share #3 Posted November 17, 2014 I was at the Leica Erlebnistage in Wetzlar last weekend and the Leica stuff confirmed - no image correction with M lenses on Leica T - but at the Novoflex booth I could see the new adapter produced by them for Leica R lenses on Leica T. If you check the Novoflex website and go to adapter finder you will see, there are a lot other types also coming (inc. Canon FD) available in December Should be on sale in December 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
