rafael_macia Posted April 24, 2015 Share #21 Posted April 24, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) A replacement flange is not the same as an adapter. A flange screws onto the lens and replaces the rear mounting flange with one that has rebates for the six bit coding machined in. They are worth the trouble especially when you consider the price difference between having Leica do the job and buying a cheap Chinese flange, and that they only take a couple of minutes to fit so your lenses aren't away for months on end. As regards just using paint or a marker pen, that is a waste of time. Things have moved on from the M8 and it's ability to read Sharpie codes. The M9, and now the M240, got progressively more sensitive to the quality of the mark, so the density and reflective values of the marking medium make a big difference. Besides which any depth/density of paint on an un-modified lens that will activate the coding sensor of the M240 will be the same depth that will wear off almost immediately (and leave flecks of paint in the camera and around the mount). Steve The quality of the supplier as a machinist is my point. He is not that good. (at least I don't think so ...) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
