djmay Posted November 27, 2016 Share #1 Posted November 27, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just picked up a 21mm Elmarit-M and like it very much. I ask the forum, is there a way to correct the lens reddish cast at the edges in Lightroom? If I code the lens manually in the M-P 240, everything looks fine. However, I know I will not remember to code the lens most of the time. I also will forget to switch back after using it. If there is a way to correct in Lightroom, I would prefer to do it that way.

Advertisement Posted November 27, 2016 Posted November 27, 2016 Hi djmay, Take a look here 21mm Elmarit-M (pre-ASPH) with M-P 240. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

Jesse Lowres-1006378.jpg There are two ways to correct the red edges: With the Flat Field plugin in Lightroom http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/lightroomplugins.html or with Cornerfix : https://sourceforge.net/projects/cornerfix/ Test test test...

Kwesi Posted November 28, 2016 Share #3 Posted November 28, 2016 You could get a coder kit from match technical ore have Leica code the lens for you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregm61 Posted November 28, 2016 Share #4 Posted November 28, 2016 Last time I looked, Match Technical coder kits were no longer available. The lenses I coded using the kit that worked so well on my M9, didn't work at all on my M262. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted November 28, 2016 Share #5 Posted November 28, 2016 Nice pic Jesse I would have the lens coded by Leica or a good workshop if i were in your shoes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bocaburger Posted November 29, 2016 Share #6 Posted November 29, 2016 I coded mine with a dreml back in the M8 days, worked fine with the M9 and now with both M240's. There's only one pit needed to mill, which wil be filled with flat-black enamel, however there is a flange screw in the line of sight of the code reader, and that needs to be painted with flat white, otherwise the camera thinks it's a black pit. PS I coded all my lenses by hand measurement, not using any kind of template kit, and all have transitioned perfectly up through the M240. However if someone isn't handy, I would definitely recommend having an independent shop code it, or else send it to Leica and have them switch out the flange. IIRC the pre-ASPH Elmarit is one they will convert. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregm61 Posted November 29, 2016 Share #7 Posted November 29, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Yep, my un-coded, pre-digital age 21mm f2.8 Elmarit ASPH is on the way back from DAG this very moment from having the 6 bit coding added. He did it faster than Leica ever would have, and at a better cost for the same work, which he does for anyone, assuming he has the needed mount for the lens in question at the time.
