Does the Monochrom M246 have a different register from the M240?

...

The calculating of the register distance must be within a tolerance zone of 1/1000th mm

Still wondering where you got this as it would be nice to have. This is quite different than the M9 tolerance as given by Leica.

I could not readily find the Kyocera B-7 sheet yesterday; do you have a link? Thanks

The Kodak KAF-10500 long sheet gives the spectral transmission for the Kyocera B-7 on Page 28. I have the KAF-10500 data sheet downloaded, it is on the Internet- but not on the Kodak or ON Technology anymore.It is also referred to as "BS7" in the same spec sheet.

I suspect "BS7" is Borosilicate Glass.

Thank you !  I had looked at the sheet for the sensor but I think one needs the sheet for the B-7.

The problem with UV/IR absorbent glass is that the most effective ones are also the ones that degrade the fastest with moisture. Reputedly, BS7 is not as effective as Schott S8612. Actually, probably nothing is as effective as 8612, mm per mm. I have a 1mm external filter for an IR-converted X100 that is 100% effective.

 

Here's the Kyocera spec. I would not be surprised if BS-7 is "Blue" and not "Boro," since the Schott designator is BG for most of the IR absorbent glass.

Don't know if the register is different or not--but I did notice that my brand new out of the box type 246 was back-focusing with all of my lenses. Enough to make it essentially un-useable without the EVF. A quick trip to Leica in New Jersey and the issue was resolved. I chalked it up to a bad rangefinder.

Thank you Dante, I think there must be some data sheet in addition to this info sheet; in any case I have asked Kyocera.

 

I never did hear back from Kyocera, but I ran into this problem at my U. and the filter is just treated like a plate of glass. The nominal distance for the sensor could be checked in a prototype by a certain kind of MTF test.
