No Aperture in Lightroom

I have an issue with Lightroom CC 2015.8 on iMac. It seems that LR doesnt show at which aperture the pictures where shot. By "F" below histogram there is just "-". I checked this phenomenon with different lenses. Does anyone else experience the same effect? Is there a setting in Leica to record Aperture in EXIF file? Thank you

With M9 and M240 the camera did a wild but sometimes accurate guess of the F value since there is no physical connection between the aperture setting on the lens and the camera . Apparently Leica choose for the M10 to ommit the "guess" and put a null value in the F field of the exif.

@POP -- that answer needs to be updated.  The M10 goes to the new level of not storing the estimated aperture anywhere that you can read it in the EXIF.  There is a suspicion that it might be in the secret "Maker Notes" part of each file.  But the SL still shows it.

Same as the M9 really. Only the M (Typ 240) did store that value under the Exif tag for the aperture, rather than just as part of the proprietary MakerNotes. This was regarded as a bug by Leica and the M10 no longer has that bug.

No matter whether it is a bug or a feature, it will be nice to have the aperture guess information available again.
