Mr Fjeld Posted December 27, 2016 Share #1 Posted December 27, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) When I check the LCD back of my camera it says uncoded when I use my APO Summicron 50. I do find this a bit strange as the 246 recognizes the Elmarit 28 ASPH without problems. Do I have to manually set a code (?). When I edit my photos in Capture One it does recognize the lens as the correct one. Does the lack of coding affect the file before it's passed on to the editing program?

Advertisement Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 Hi Mr Fjeld, Take a look here APO 50 Summicron and coding. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Soden Posted December 28, 2016 Share #2 Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) Could be several things: Lens not in correct position Dirty or damaged code sensor Very very early firmware It does seem odd that C1 recognizes the lens as it gets the information comes from the 6-bit code. There is no Manuel entry for this lens as there is no uncoded version so maybe you've selected an earlier version of this lens in the manual menu? Something seems odd, mine works in auto mode. Hmmm interesting. Works in exif, but not reflected on back of camera. Odd indeed Could the frame select lever be stuck? What are the frames when the 50 APo is on?

Mr Fjeld Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the reply. I took it off and on again and now everything looks alright. Strange? Edited December 28, 2016 by Mr Fjeld Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fjeld Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share #4 Posted December 28, 2016 Thanks for the reply. I took it off and on again and now everything looks alright. Strange?Having said that, it has happened before. Will this possibly affect the image quality in any way? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soden Posted December 28, 2016 Share #5 Posted December 28, 2016 It might affect image quality, but given the nature of this lens. Probably not much as it's a highly corrected lens. I have found that some lenses are a little snug on some bodies. It might correct its self over usage. Better to check by pressing the info button from time to time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for taking the time to help me Soden It could very well be tight tolerances. I'll keep checking that info button!

John Black Posted January 15, 2017 Share #7 Posted January 15, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've had this happen various times over the years and it was because the lens wasn't fully mounted. When mounting the lens onto the camera, listen for the "click" of the pin that keeps the lens from rotating off the camera body. Sometimes I'll think of the lens fully mounted, but there is still just tiny bit more rotation needed to get it to fully click in place. Hopefully this is the case for your situation. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your reply - and I think you are right! It hasn't occurred lately, but then I've made sure to be more "firm" when attaching the lens.
