lct Posted October 30, 2016 Share #321 Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) [...] What are you talking about? I won't talk without a lawyer! Just kidding. On, say, inferior cameras (Sony, Fuji etc.) i don't need any coding to get auto iso and it works perfectly with inferior as well as superior lenses. But with my superior cameras, this is way too simple. To get auto iso working normally i need either (1) coded lenses or (2) chimping to set "Lens Detection" on "Manual" and choosing the proper profile in the list displayed on the LCD. Oh well for non coded lenses or DIY codes working on some superior cameras and not other superior ones but inferior to the latters from this viewpoint. Clear enough?

Why would you need to do that for auto ISO, and for which camera? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianman Posted October 30, 2016 Share #324 Posted October 30, 2016 I had no idea that the 6-bit code or choosing the lens manually had any relation to auto-iso. Seriously, I don't understand, please could you explain ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted October 30, 2016 Share #325 Posted October 30, 2016 Too difficult with words, let alone on Sunday, sorry mate. If you have a superior camera put a non coded lens on it, try auto iso and tell me how it works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedaes Posted October 30, 2016 Share #328 Posted October 30, 2016 "I would not put any six bit codes on my original lens as it would de-value it as a collector's piece." I think we all missed this lens was in the profile list (anyone spot any others?). You can of course select it manually to get any benefits of the profile.

You can of course select it manually to get any benefits of the profile. I would have thought that this item in the list is only made visible once the firmware has "seen" the lens. I can't believe nobody would have seen it if the entry was already visible. Maybe someone with a 240 can verify this ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we all missed this lens was in the profile list (anyone spot any others?). You can of course select it manually to get any benefits of the profile. Glad to hear that. I don't recall it being there when I did my test shooting last May. Now one can keep the collector's piece intact and get the 'benefits' of whatever Leica has put into the in-camera processing systems. It still helps to know how to correct these things in post processing. That way all of the bases are covered. William Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a superior camera put a non coded lens on it, try auto iso and tell me how it works. I tried a summicron canada 50mm on my M 240. Put it on auto iso and all photo's are well lit. Only thing is. Every photo is on 200 asa an shutterspeeds of 1" , or 0,24 etc. conclusion: auto iso does not what is supposed to do I think ( because I never used auto iso. ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulus Posted October 30, 2016 Share #335 Posted October 30, 2016 Thanks for sharing. Makes me realize that the 28/5.6 lens profile was waiting for its time in the M240_2030 firmware since April 2016. I think I did not see it, because the 28 is the last one in the menu.

If you have a superior camera put a non coded lens on it, try auto iso and tell me how it works. So I put an uncoded 35mm Cron on my M9 (I have no idea if this is what you call an inferior camera ?) and set it up for auto ISO and took 3 test pictures. One came out at ISO 500, second at 200 and third at 2000. Seems to work fine on the M9... interesting, I had never used that feature :-) Edited October 30, 2016 by ianman 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECohen Posted October 31, 2016 Share #339 Posted October 31, 2016 200 iso is not auto iso for sure... Does not work on my M240 either. Well ....you learn something new every day. Thank You! ....I guess I never noticed I never use auto ISO Camera lens detection on auto...non 6bit lens Auto ISO doesnt work So If I set the lens manual ....then Auto ISO works? I'll have to make some tests tomorrow ...to see for myself Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
